March's training event, presented by Regional Director, Tim Koester, was fantastic.  Tim was able to break down the Section Operating Agreement (SOA) in order to help us understand our responsibilities as a section.  For those not aware, leadership has quite a few rules and responsibilities when it comes to running the section.  We no longer can claim ignorance though, because Tim did a great job of bringing us up-to-speed.  Tim discussed some of the leadership positions explaining the roles and responsibilities of each.  We have several more leadership volunteers this coming year that will help us implement the necessary activities of the section as well as support the membership as a whole.  As a group we discussed several ideas for improving the section next year including introducing some very low cost certification training options for members and some high-end presenters for events.  We are begining to work on the details now and will update everyone as work progresses.  Thank you, Tim, for your enlightening presentation and continuing support.
