Region 2's Leadership Development Workshop (LDW) took place in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, on May 12 and 13. It was our first LDW in more than a dozen years and, judging from the enthusiasm from the attendees, we won't be waiting 12 years for the next one. There were 34 attendees, representing 9 of the 10 groups in our region, who showed up for our Saturday programs, and many came in early Friday night to join us for pizza.

Our morning programs included Yvonne Brownlee and Sallie Banko presenting the basics of your proctor network and testing program; Allen Neuner talking about how to deal with problem members; and Margaret Scherbina and Jan Foley teaching us how to run successful Regional Gatherings. We then broke for lunch in the hotel dining room. Many people raved about the hotel's lunch buffet. Don Pendley kicked off the afternoon  with an interactive session on developing Mensa publicity tools, followed by Sallie Banko talking and quizzing us about ExCom basics, and Dave Remine capping the day with a powerpoint presentation on getting involved at the regional, national, or international level. The attendee evaluation forms were overwhelmingly positive.
