Congratulations to District Leaders for a Fantastic Mid-year Training!
Thank you to the district leaders who attended 2010-2011 Mid-year Training. Your participation made it a great success. This year's training brought with it several exciting and challenging firsts: For the first time, trainings were held outside of North America: in Dubai and Malaysia. In addition, the regions were grouped in different pairings from previous years and the results were overwhelmingly positive. With its emphasis on discussion and interaction, this year's mid-year training was an educational accomplishment for all.
Web Site Enhancements
District leaders can make entries online to the Area Visit Reports. Be sure to use your assigned password, using uppercase letters, the first time you sign on. After that first time, you'll be able to change your password. |
