2016 Council Officer Training

Published by: Dane Jurkovic On: 04/25/2016 Under: All Articles

Planning is well underway for Council Officer Training in dioceses across Michigan. The purpose of training is to better prepare current and future Knights of Columbus officers and directors for responsibilities in leadership positions. All council members are encouraged to attend. The Diocesan Program Directors have secured locations and dates for training along with qualified presenters. Classes are planned for Grand Knights, Financial Secretary, Program Directors, Membership Directors (includes instruction on implementing the retention process), Advocate, Treasurer / Trustee, and Warden/Guard positions. The Financial Secretary training format will be targeted to both new and advance use with time for questions and answers. In addition, the Grand Knight training will contain about a half hour of Member Management. The training materials, manuals and modules are included on the Michigan State Council website at www.mikofc.org available to all members.

The cost of the training is only $5 per attendee. The low cost should enable councils to send several members to training. Since scheduled training may conflict with council meeting and activity dates, members may attend training outside their diocese if it is more convenient. Councils should notify the appropriate Diocesan Program Director at least a week prior to training, although members may register the day of training. Advance notice of councils attending will help to plan for food, materials, etc. Councils may pre-register and send checks made out to the Michigan State Council to Diocesan Program Directors or pay when the members attend the training. The schedule for training in all dioceses is listed.
