A Review of Training in 2009
All training sessions were conducted by Federation Training Officer George Wilken. To review George's philosophy on training and a background of George's experience in the area of training, click HERE. All training sessions had the same presentation content, but interests and concerns of the attendees shaped each discussion and directed the focus of the topics. Attendees were asked to bring questions and problems they may have experienced in chapter leadership to the session they attend.
Each hour of training consisted of a visual presentation accompanied by a packet/booklet of materials that each attendee will take back to their chapter. The sessions will start promptly and on time; have a break at least once an hour and finish on time. A one hour break will be taken for lunch and attendees will be expected to pay for their lunch. All materials are supplied and there are no other costs for the sessions.
