We are very pleased that we have a new Coordinator Training Program in the works and scanning its launch checklist.
Lisa Schaffer, with many years of teaching experience and a stellar performance as the former Ohio Coordinator, will be leading the effort to train a whole new generation of volunteers who are either inheriting the torch or who will be adding to a Coordinator Team.
Many of you have been attending our Coordinator Training calls and getting questions answered each week. This is your chance to step up and take it to the next level. Those who take this training and pass their basic background checks will be fully prepared to help your State of the Union organize and thrive!
Our tradition up to this point has been a rough road with few signposts through a wilderness of functions and questions and processes. Our early volunteers didn't have the benefit of anyone who had done it before, because their predecessors, the Circuit Riders, were all dead and gone. Even many of the records and instructions were lost.
We are now at the point where at least a few Assemblies are at or nearing the completion of their State Assembly pillars and are functioning as our ancestors envisioned. A few, Ohio among them, are at the point where they can look back and say -- we did it!
They are ready to start sharing the insights of their experience with other States and their Coordinators are now ready to help other Coordinators and Coordinator Teams succeed.
Training starts this Friday, February 20th 2025, 10 AM, and can accommodate 100 students. Playbacks will be available for those who can't make Friday morning sessions.
This training is highly recommended for everyone, both experienced and inexperienced volunteers contemplating the rigors of being a Coordinator for their State.
I, for one, am very grateful that we now have a core cadre of experienced State Coordinators, people who have faced the nuts and bolts of building a State Assembly in the modern era, and having hacked their way into the future and having overcome a 160 year silence, stand ready to help others do the same.
