MPC Training Sessions

Worthy Grand Knights,

I hope that many of you have taken advantage of the Supreme Webinar training sessions that have been presented over this past Fraternal Year.  

To supplement this training the State Council has been exploring topics and dates to provide additional training for our Council Officers.  This in person training is not limited to just officers and any member that is interested is welcome to attend.

State Training Coordinator FDD Bob Julien has worked with our Supreme Membership and Program Consultant, Pat Maloney, to schedule two training sessions during the week of October 9th – 14th.  

In response to requests from our membership to offer training at locations other than central Phoenix Bob has arranged for these sessions to be held in Tucson and Pinetop.  In the future we continue to also present training in other areas of our State.

These sessions will be presented by our MPC, who is a Past State Deputy from Washington and been involved with conduction many training sessions over the years.  Pat was in Arizona last spring and held sessions about recruiting and retention in advance of our Fall Membership drives.

The topics for these sessions will be Financial Officers Training - which is essentially a session geared for and covering responsibilities of the Financial Officers - GK, DGK, Treasurer, FS and Trustees - and anyone that is interested in serving in these positions in the future. Pat will cover how money is handled in a council.   If time allows Pat will also be prepared to discuss the 10 Principles of Leadership and how this applies to Councils.

It will help a great deal if you send a message to the Point of Contact at the location you can attend so the host Councils knows how many Members to expect.  Please copy Bob Julien as well on you message.

Bob Julien's contact information is rajulien@cox.net or 480-707-9246.
