Club Officer Leadership Training (COLT)
COLT training covers all areas of being a club officer by providing specific training for each board position.
The COLT program also includes group training for each new team of officers. This training will allow each club board the chance to begin working together as a team by examining the current position of each club, setting club goals for the coming year, and defining Committee Chair positions. COLT also offers officers a first-hand look at the expectations and strengths of their fellow board members, and each club board has the opportunity to meet and share ideas with officers of other clubs, as well as members of the District Board and club meetings, prepare an agenda, and work with Lieutenant Governors. THE COLT PROGRAM IS A TRAINING SESSION HELD EACH SPRING FOR ALL NEWLY ELECTED CLUB OFFICERS (PRESIDENT, VICE-PRESIDENT, SECRETARY, TREASURER, COMMITTEE CHAIRS).
