One of our team members traveled to Duke University for a leadership conference. He saw some ways NIC can increase tourism, training for hospitality workers, and support the service economy of Coeur d’Alene. Here is what he said:
I made a trip to North Carolina to experience a National Student Leadership Conference. This conference was focused on leadership skills and developing the basic skills of engineering. This conference was held at Duke University, and it enabled us to do things like stay in the dorms, use their food courts, and enjoy their location. This leadership conference was something that could easily be pulled off right in Coeur d’Alene. It would enable the world to witness the beauty of our city as well as develop the learning experiences that we provide for teenagers at this time. NIC could do the same thing. They often hold sports camps through the summer, and they could easily hold similar camps that are designed to increase learning and interest in certain career paths. In all, Coeur d’Alene is ready for something like this, and it would benefit the community.
