Half of the administrators that show up for this conference attend only one or two events that are presented by their colleagues. The rest of the time they are at the Biltmore with their family, the spa getting a massage, or at Cherokee gambling. On Tuesday afternoon they are playing golf. They do not show up for the staff development in order to get ready for the golf match. At night they have vendors pay for their supper and all the alcohol they can drink. One can only imagine these vendors get something out of the deal. Maybe it is you scratch my back and we will scratch yours.
retreat: waste or work?
