United Methodist Women provide
opportunities for leader development and officer training in a variety of ways.
One of those ways is to provide leader development events for conference,
district, and local unit officers. In our own conference, each district
provides an officer training event for local unit officers. District
officers participate in a special day of training provided by their conference
officer counterparts. And, our conference officers receive special
training each year in officer update classes at the South Atlantic Regional
School of Christian Mission.
Local Unit Officer Training
Opportunities: Leader Development events for
local unit officers take place across the conference...in each of the
fourteen districts. Each of those events provides opportunities
for local officers to share in up-to-date information about the mission and
Purpose of United Methodist Women, and to receive information and support as
they prepare to lead United Methodist Women in their own local unit. These
events in the fourteen districts take place on various dates...usually during October and
November. Click on the link below for your district to check on the
date for the event in your district. Contact your district president for
more information....and make plans to attend. You will be glad that you
did!
District Officer Training Event: Each year, our conference
provides an officer training event for district officers where each
conference officer leads a day of training for their district counterparts.
The 2008 officer training event for district officers will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2008.
District officers receive information about this event from their district
president and/or their conference counterpart. It is an important day
for district officers to learn more about their office and
responsibilities...so they can in turn share information with local unit
officers in their districts.
The PURPOSE of
United Methodist Women The organized unit of United Methodist Women shall be a community of women
whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through
Jesus Christ; to develop a creative supportive fellowship; and to expand
concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the
church.
