- A dedicated guide for Council Administration of VOAs has been released. This will help you as you seek to understand how to create and sustain a Council VOA. It puts into print all sorts of options and suggestions about how to organize your council.
- Our website has a lot of resources for you. Also on the website is a page for the Leadership and Planning Conference and A page for WorldFest. Where you can register and sign up.
- More in CSVE in the next class session, but CSVE stands for the council standards of Venturing Excellence and is the guide national uses to gage quality Venturing programs in councils. Six of our councils achieved Bronze or Silver. Five of our councils didn’t turn in the form. We are after a 100% turn in rate this year.
- When you form a Council VOA and even if you have not yet, leadership training is essential. On the next slide we are advertising our Area Leadership and Planning Conference
