National Mid-Winter Conference

Division Vices, Dept. Commandants, and PNC's

For anyone that does not have one, I have attached a copy of the

virtual agenda. There will be a zoom Commandants council and BOT's meeting.

There will also be some live Facebook viewings. I would like to get as many members on and involved as possible, one way to accomplish that would be If Division Vices not traveling and Department and/or Detachment Commandants and PNC's if possible could pull together a group and join the zoom as a group and the same for the Facebook sessions for those that do not have Facebook. Maybe you have members that live close to one another get together for a few of the virtual sessions.

Make the flow of information a little more fluid.

Any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
