Status Report for Division Managers

The Committee

A training conference committee was formed last November to work on coordinating and planning all details of the upcoming training conference to be held in October. The committee members are Veronica Lucasse (Chairperson), Blaine Rapier, Romaine Lancaster, and Charlene O’Neal.

The technology training conference committee provides details of future plans for technology training for all employees. Training information is derived by soliciting suggestions from current employees and supervisors throughout the division. The committee meets every first and third Thursday of every month. The Chairperson designates the time and place.

Training Goal

The goal of the training conference is to provide technology training in a variety of technical areas to ensure that our employees are kept abreast of the latest technology advancements and are able to function in the information age. This conference will be offered to all employees. In response to our employees’ request, we have developed our first annual technology update training session.
