Leadership Development

Members have opportunities to engage in experiences that build essential skills, such as confidence, consensus and team building, event planning, conflict resolution and parliamentary procedure. Annually, the Chapter elects officers from among the Patronesses, affording the opportunity for mothers to further develop their leadership skills.

Each Ticktocker class has a different focus that corresponds with their development. Beginning in 7^th grade, the Ticktockers explore leadership styles and NCL, Inc. core values. In 8^th grade, they learn to communicate more effectively and begin to lead their grade level meetings. As 9^th graders, they further develop their listening skills, practice time management tools, and build self-confidence. The 10^th grade Ticktockers learn to strengthen conflict resolution skills, prepare for future employment, and engage in public speaking. In 11^th grade, the Ticktockers establish future goals and identify college opportunities. Lastly, as seniors the class mentors the younger Ticktockers and prepares for their Presentation Ball. In addition, the Chapter has a Ticktocker Council, which is made up of class representatives. The Council organizes training and mentoring activities throughout the year.
