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
