Tri County Tech makes a purchase that will develop their Leadership Retreat Center. The 110-acre property Jarrett Farms located 20 miles south of Bartlesville has been purchased by Tri County Tech.

Tri County expects to draw the attendance of high-caliber classmates providing an additional resource for peer-to-peer growth and network expansion. The retreat center will also provide a location for leadership growth and development for organizations large and small. Tri County Tech’s CEO Lindel Fields says exciting that the students can have an impact on the plans for the new property. When it comes to developing its programs, Tri County will use the foundation of distinguished and highly-respected faculty, thought-leaders and relevant researchers, and lessons with engaging classroom management and learning strategies.

The Leadership Retreat Center will feature an event space for leadership and team development opportunities, executive education services, a specialty restaurant, and rental units for lease outside of retreats. The property will feature a 7,500 square foot residential structure and six 1,500 square foot cottage-style rent units.

Tri County Tech says the hope for developing the property into a full scale Leadership Retreat Center is that it will have a substantial positive economic impact on the Bartlesville economy.

For the third straight year, Tri County has found its way on Fortune’s Great Places to Work list. Last year, Tri County was also recognized by the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige Performance Excellence Program as a Best Practice Organization for Leadership and Workforce.
