Training highlights for Q4 District Convention

THE SECOND call for Caribbean District Convention 2012 is out and so too are the training highlights. The quarterly district gatherings are great opportunities for personal growth and improvement, fellowship and networking; but the Q 4 conventions - as is customary in the Optimist movement - are specially designed for that and much more.
One of the special Q4 features is the training for incoming officers which is aimed at ensuring that the new team are well prepared for their special assignments in advancing the welfare of Caribbean children. This objective also means that the trainers who are selected are among those recognized by the movement as exceptional in their area; they are able to bring the kind of expertise that will  guarantee all delegates a meaningful and productive experience.
Among those set to take the training to a different level at the Power-of-One Convention 2012 are:
Past International Vice President and 2011-2012 New Club Building chair for Optimist International, James "Jim" Oliver (Optimist club of Van Nuys-Airport, California)

Past International Vice President  and 2011-2012 District Chair for Leadership & Development, Edwin Wint (Optimist club of Kingston Breakfast)
International Vice President Designate and Certified Club Trainer
Sonia Anderson (Optimist club of St Ann's Bay)

Past District Secretary-Treasurer and Certified District Trainer,
Barbara Arrindell (Optimist club of St. John's, Antigua)

Past Lieutenant Governor, Faith McFarquhar-Gordon (Optimist club of Sunset Kingston)

These facilitators are outstanding Optimists in their own right; but they also bring to the convention professional and academic qualification of the highest quality in leadership, management, and human resource development from both the public and private sectors. Together they make an awesome team whose sessions should not be missed. The conference planning committee is promising all delegates to the Caribbean District Convention 2012 "the best experience ever!".
