The Launch is an event that marks the beginning and end of each year in Excelle. Our main objectives are to cultivate a shared sense of purpose, a common identity, and be in community with one another. Over the Launch weekend, we will work together to establish collective goals and objectives for the year, as well as identify how we can optimize your experience in Excelle .

Overall, the Launch aims to celebrate and honor the individuality of each one of you, ensuring that you feel seen, held, and celebrated for your unique qualities and contributions.

The community agreements for Excelle are as follows:

• Assume the best intentions of others and take responsibility for the impact of your actions.

• Offer grace and empathy when someone in our group “stumbles.”

• Make space for one another - be mindful of when to actively engage or step back from discussions.

• Embrace discomfort, as it is where learning and growth occur.

• Respect the confidential nature of our shared space.

The full agenda for the weekend is above!

A full packing list can be found in your email but we recommend bringing the following items:

• Comfortable clothes for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday workshops

• Optional outfit change and accessory options for photoshoot (discuss with Keely Lozier)- Aspiring and Executive cohorts only

• Outfit for Saturday dinner at Bayberry Garden

At Excelle, we want you to dress in a way that makes you feel the most confident and comfortable. While there is no formal dress code, we suggest wearing something that is comfortable to walk around in during our Friday, Saturday, and Sunday programs at District Hall (If helpful, Amanda will likely be wearing jeans or a casual dress, depending on the weather). Keep in mind, there will be a photographer so wear something you’re comfortable being photographed in. On the day of your headshot, please wear or bring the outfit you will be photographed in. For both the Welcome Reception and Celebration Dinner, feel free to dress up as much or as little as you want!

Check out who is all a part of the Launch team below! Feel free to find any of these folks throughout the weekend for questions, comments, and little Excelle boosts!

Yes, there is both paid garage parking and street parking nearby. That being said, for those staying at the Aloft, we encourage you to grab a buddy and walk over together since both venues are very close.
