Leadership Training Schedule 2010

Training Article Following Registration Form

Making any endeavor successful requires that many components combine and work well together. In order for a Chapter to succeed and grow the same is true. Participation is the key ingredient for a Chapter but one other very important key to opening the door to success is having leaders who are not only dedicated but are prepared to take on the responsibilities of their position. Being prepared in large part can be achieved through proper training. To help achieve this we are offering several training programs in the upcoming year. These programs are designed to assist new officers in the transition to their roles as leaders. Each one is designed to help prepare for your role as a leader in the GWRRA. Even though these programs are designed to help prepare members to make the transaction into leadership roles, the information contained within these programs is something that any member can use to make their Chapter experience more enjoyable. The more you understand about how a Chapter works, the more you participate in the Chapter, the more you will get out of the entire experience. We encourage all Chapter officers, members who would be willing to step up and take a leadership position, or any other member who just wants to be better educated about their chapter and how it works to attend these classes.

The Horizons Class involves 1 1/2 days of classroom training and Advanced Leadership Skills only involves 1 day of classroom training.
