I would like to invite all commissioners to this excellent event. We have a great program, a fantastic venue and plenty of fellowship, making this a great opportunity to learn and have fun.

Besides encouraging Commissioners from Daniel Webster Council to attend, I especially want to invite Commissioners from neighboring Councils to participate. I continue to believe that a program is further enriched when we introduce fresh ideas and methods.

We have developed a tremendous team of Deans and faculty and a complete syllabus that should engage all Commissioners. We are especially excited about our continuing education program “Toolkit for the 21st Century Commissioner”. Our robust program provides an opportunity for all Commissioners. No Commissioner should miss this year’s outstanding event!

—Curt Duclos, Daniel Webster Council Commissioner
