About a year ago several of us had the opportunity to attend the ACA National conference, held in Nashville, TN. One of the many people that connected to me was a keynote speaker named Dr. Rick Rigsby. This link will provide you with the last four minuets of the keynote. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn2-VTNFOUk
Dr. Rigsby spoke about character, values-based leadership, and how theses two, most important traits are vital to making an IMPACT rather than an impression. How we live determines how we lead which will determine the impact me make. Impression, is what we do when children first arrive at camp. Impact, is what we did that is visible in their lives 20 years later. Camp creates lifelong Impacts!
“Our greatest endeavor must be to transform this generation by living authentic lives that impact rather than impress!” -Dr. Rick Rigsby
