Everyday Leadership: Leaders should be constant learners

August 27, 2008

Leadership Ohio, a group of leaders from across Ohio, visited Marietta from July 17 to 19. Purpose of visiting southeastern Ohio was to research Appalachian issues accomplished through a series of stops at museums, businesses, colleges, and some of our best food establishments. A number of prominent Washington County residents planned and organized the tour, including Charlotte Keim, Renee Steffen, Dave Archer, Henry Burke, Harley Noland, Andy Verhoff, and Gama Perruci. Thursday evening, we began with a reception at Campus Martius to understand more about the beginnings of the Northwest Territory and Marietta. In period costume, Bill Reynolds told the story of Marietta pioneer Rufus Putnam. As usual, the out-of-town folks were amazed at the significance of Marietta in Ohio and the beginning of the Northwest Territory. Early the next day, we loaded a Community Action Bus (CABL) and headed to Pioneer Pipe where we received an interesting tour by Mike Archer.
