CLC Initiatives:
Event Attachment
By observing how experienced Grassroots Leaders planand execute events, new volunteers can learn the basicskills
While the new volunteers learn on the job, the
Chairmen and staff can identify potential GrassrootsLeaders
It also offers a valuable opportunity to discover hiddentalents so that they can contribute to the variouscommittees with their special expertise and know-how
