We wrapped up our annual Fireside Chats this week with sessions at Wetassa and Sycamore Districts. Thanks to Terry Miller and Blair Piotrowski, the respective District Commissioniers, for allowing us time at their Roundtables. We always get good input as a result of these sessions.
So what happens now? Well, we take all of the comments and catagorize them by function (e.g. training, camping, etc.) and refer them to the appropriate council committee for consideration at our April meeting. Each district should have a representative, usually your district chair for the equivalent committee in the district, attending the council meetings who can relate back to your district committee the results of those meetings.
Something that I've found this year is that many of our volunteers are unfamiliar with the interaction between the council and their districts. Our annual Fireside Chats are not your only opportunity to be heard during the year. Each district has a committee that meets monthly. Each of those meetings are an opportunity to discuss concerns or suggestions as to various functions within the district which mirror the council functions. Using Membership as an example, if there is a suggestion for the council, the district membership representative, the District Vice Chair of Membership, can take that suggestion to the next Council Membership meeting for consideration. So you do not have to wait for our annual Fireside Chats to have your suggestions heard.
