    Club Officer Training (Winter Sessions)


    29 November 2023

    Club Officer Training (Winter Season) has started and will conclude at the end of February. Several sessions have been scheduled throughout the period for your convenience. District 53 has recruited a great selection of officers from high-performance clubs to facilitate and guide your workshop sessions this year. In your sessions you’ll…

    • Attend a breakout session based on your officer role.
    • Experience quality time with other officers in the same role, sharing strategies that work.
    • Work with diverse officers in many roles across the district to get proven tactics for membership, club quality, contest programs, open houses, and other club operations.
    • Attend at least 80% (120 minutes) of any 2.5 hour session to receive training credit.

    The schedule of available training dates is as follows:

    1. Wednesday, November 29, 2023, 6-8:30pm
    2. Thursday, December 7, 2023, 6-8:30pm
