Dear members,

We are off to an exciting start. We have enjoyed excellent training sessions and many of you have already earned a communication or leadership education award. What an incredible way to start the year. A powerful start will certainly propel us to a distinguished finish.

In the coming weeks your area governor will be making arrangements to conduct an official visit. These visits are important because they establish a guiding conversation to ensure the success of your club’s membership year. To be effective it is essential that this is a two way conversation.

There are several things that officers can to prepare in advance for your visit. If you have not done so recently, I recommend conducting the Distinguished Club module from the Successful Club Series. Club leaders can also talk to members about personal communication and leadership goals they wish to accomplish this membership year. And if there is something district leaders can assist with please let your area governor know. Our leadership team is here and at your service.

Yours in Service,
Vida A. Jennings, DTM
2010-2011 District Governor

District 58 Governor, Vida Jennings
