Note for Advisors & Volunteers

Dear Advisors & Volunteers,

I am currently exploring adding  an informational training for volunteers this fall. As this is the time where many transitions occur, my hope is that if you will be stepping down, or becoming an advisor that you will attend – but also as a standing volunteer attend to ensure that your club is following best practices. As of mid-2013 we are now mandated child abuse reporters, so I wish to give you information to make you feel more comfortable with that process. In an effort to make this training as stress-free as possible, I am asking for your opinions on dates that might work best. Please respond as soon as possible so I can choose one or two dates by the beginning of next week. Thank you very much!
