LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Every year PCOC puts on a Leadership Academy. The event is designed to train future leaders in our industry and is an invaluable opportunity to develop skills that transcend involvement in PCOC. In fact, I believe it is one of the most important things that we do as an association. This year it will be held May 31 to June 1 at the Catamaran Resort in San Diego. Each district sends its Chairman and Vice Chairman for the upcoming year. Attendees come away with abilities and ideas that they can use for the rest of their lives. Here are some of the topics that we cover:

  • History of PCOC and its structure, bylaws and decision-making process.
  • District bylaws.
  • Preparing and conducting a district meeting.
  • Finding good speakers.
  • Officers' duties and responsibilities.
  • Robert's Rules of Order.
  • Public speaking.
  • Benefits of membership in PCOC and NPMA.
  • The legislative process.
  • District growth.
  • Your transition meeting.

We should all be proud of this significant event, put together by YOUR association...I know I am honored to be a small part of it. The other faculty members for this year are Curtis Good, Joe Gatto, Travis Swope and Josh Adams.
