Learning is a lifetime activity. As commissioners, we must continually adjust our skills to provide a more valuableservice to our units, district and council. Therefore, commission1ers should view learning as an important part of

in your commissioner position(s). This event also provides an 0 portunity to network with other volunteers andprofessional leaders (perhaps the most valuable resource that ne can have/use throughout the program year).
