Zany Outreach Idol judges listen attentively and evaluate as Outreach Practitioners – on stage – creatively think on their feet presenting solutions to Outreach problem scenarios as if presenting to an audience of customers. All were inventive and creative!

During Speed Writing Outreach Artists are tasked with rapidly creating humorous lyrics to a song that speaks to – one of three – highly common challenges faced during their Outreach workdays. (l to r) Greg Miller, Kirsti Manna and Abby Walden-Peterson collaborate just before their high energy and gut-busting performance.
