LOCAL LODGE OFFICERS have a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and develop skills to enhance their job performance. The Department of Education & Training Services (ETS) will hold five regional training sessions designed especially for new officers.
Coordinated by ETS Director Donald Caswell, these classes target local lodge presidents, financial officers, and trustees, but other elected officers may attend. They provide instruction in how the International and local lodges work together, International policies and legal requirements, bookkeeping and recordkeeping guidelines, conducting the quarterly audit and completing the audit report, occupational safety and health, legislative and political activity, communication skills, and other subjects.
There is no charge for elected lodge officers to attend, but seating is limited, so pre-registration will be required. Transportation and lodging expenses are the responsibility of the lodge. Earlier this month, letters with full information and a registration form were mailed to all lodges. Lodges may send elected officers to any of the sessions described below, except where limits are given.
