All APO spring break - still a work in progress, but we would elect 2 site leaders now, who are responsible for meeting with other site leaders throughout the year to learn how to facilitate group meeting and other leadership activities required for leading a group. The site leader must be enrolled in at least 6 credits next spring and commit to these meetings. We get to choose our site for next spring too!
