HST and monthly on the first Tuesday same time period, October 3, and November 7.  All sessions are via Zoom (same Zoom link for each session).  Mark your calendar and if you must miss a session, please take time to review the appropriate recorded session below.
 
This is all followed with Pre-PETS on Saturday, January 20, 2024, 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. HST.  This is the last training and preparation session (via Zoom) for Presidents-Elect before they travel to and take part in Southwest Presidents-Elect Training Seminar (SW PETS)

Below is the pre-work and the featured agenda topic for each of our sessions. We will have a district expert speak with us briefly on each topic and also have plenty of time for discussion and sharing ideas and best practices with each other.  After the session, the recorded session (VIDEO) will be available to access.
