The team -building concept was further endorsed by Council Members Land and Hansen when they volunteered to contact and interview potential facilitators. After reviewing letters of interest from five candidate facilitators, Council Members Land and Hansen scheduled and conducted conference call interviews with four of the five candidates and one in-person interview with one of the candidates. Council Members Land and Hansen have since invited both Dr. Bill Mathis and Pastor Dale Edwards to attend the November 19, 2003 Council meeting to speak with the full Council during this agenda item regarding their respective perspectives on team -building opportunities.
