Second Training is Valuable
Written by Jerry Keast, LGM Thursday, 21 January 2010 07:00
The district's second round of club-officer training started at the Winter Leadership Institute on January 16, 2010. While club officers (and even some district officers) may see this as redundant, the truth is that second training can be an opportunity to offer your club officers that extra information and practice they need to create even greater success. Don't miss this opportunity to gain this insight and renew and build relationships with fellow district members.
