We also will either have the IDP tech person there for VAN training or we also have videos that we can watch and have discussion and learn from others.
This will be a hands-on and interactive discussion with panels of your fellow District members. This will be a great way to learn about our roles in the county party and expectations. Great place to visit with other counties and get ideas to take home.
Please let me know if you have any questions and please email me asap how many people you may send to this event. It would be great if we could get a couple from each county.
