Planning Committee News Release 20 OCT 07
The Train-the-Trainer Leadership Development Workshop (LDW) got off to a successful start in Hartford and Baltimore with D/C Arthur Kimber, SN, in Atlanta with P/R/C Glenn Daughtridge, AP, in Chicago with Stf/C Robert Landeros, SN, and in San Francisco with the creator of the LDW, Stf/C Herb Shaw, JN. A total of 55 trainers representing 22 districts that cover two-thirds of our district organizations now have been trained.
The LDW is meant to spread leadership skills that positively impact squadron members throughout USPS. A cadre of better trained leaders will enthuse and motivate our members leading to more pride in membership and in assuming leadership roles in our organization and in their own lives.
The two-day LDW trained the district representatives who will now begin offering the LDW to their local squadron members. Several districts already have plans underway to bring the Workshops to their squadrons. We thank the participating districts for supporting this initiative. The materials are free, being provided through a grant from the Century Fund, the very first member-initiative grant.
Please help your district trainer publicize the event within your district as soon as possible. Squadron members should be encouraged to enhance their leadership abilities; this LDW can do it.
We are currently looking at the possibility of offering the LDW to those districts that did not attend.
