3. Survey Feedback on Session #8
Fantastic
• Great day and found the OWASA tour extremely
interesting! Aaron did a wonderful job as usual and
all the panelists were very informative.
• Learning about the value of different properties.
• Understanding how the responsibilities of the
Department feeds into the town’s ownership and the
importance of the town’s budget.
• The panel on affordable housing was very
informative and impactful.
Frustrating
• Room was too big; hard to hear
• The topics were interesting but the way they were
presented (back to back panels) was monotonous.
• Sitting in the same room for most of the day was
tough, especially because the room felt too big for
the group

4. Additional Recap and Feedback
You also, completed your community passport activities, hosted a successful small miracle event, and elected Ali
Evans as Class President!
Congratulations Ali Evans! Thank you for being willing to serve!

8. Icebreaker
Reflect: Reflect on the word “empathy,” how it has been shown to you in the workplace,
and how you have shown it through your leadership to colleagues.
Consider: Consider a time when you (or a colleague) needed empathy but were met with
a different reaction. How did that feel. What did you do?
Pair & Share: Find a partner who you have not yet spoken with much this summer and
share what empathy in workplace leadership means to you and why.
