(January 25,
2008/ Cagayan de Oro, Philippines) The CALD secretariat,
together with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation Manila office and
the YLDA secretariat staff, had their annual team building and
strategic planning workshop last January 22-25, 2008 in Marco
Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City and in the Acosta residence/farm in
Bukidnon.
More than
planning the projects for 2008, the activity was a venue to
evaluate the job performances of the staff and to improve work
relations among the three secretariats. This was an opportune
time to revisit goals and be reminded of the work
responsibilities needed to establish better mechanisms for
accountability. The workshop also sought to identify work
strategies and define clearer benchmarks for performance results
and accomplishment.
Dr. Neric
Acosta, CALD Secretary General, accompanied the group to a tour
of his hometown in Bukidnon and hosted a sumptuous dinner in his
residence. According to Dr. Acosta, “This workshop held in a
bucolic setting allowed our team to know each other better, set
our goals collectively, and strengthen our resolve to make this
15th year of CALD truly productive and rewarding.” |
