• ONGOING —You are encouraged to review the information in the online NACADA Leadership Orientation system (using “Haiku”) before coming to San Antonio this fall. Login information was sent to all leaders by George Steele a couple of weeks ago. If you need this information sent to you again, please e-mail George directly at gsteele@oln.org. Although the online orientation modules were developed with newly elected and appointed leaders in mind, there is good information from which all leaders can benefit.
