Conclave Training Initiative Introduced

The Leadership Development subcommittee of the National Order of the Arrow Committee introduced a new resource for section conclave training at the 2002 National Planning Meeting. The first ever Conclave Training Initiative materials were distributed to all section chiefs and section advisers in attendance.

The purpose of the Conclave Training Initiative is to provide at least one training session each year for section conclaves to use to augment their own conclave training. It was created based on a goal from the 2003-2007 OA Strategic Plan calling for "…an initiative to enhance learning opportunities at section conclaves".

Each year, the national OA committee will provide a syllabus and training support material that will be distributed to each section chief at the December national planning meeting. This process provides training support to our sections and also serves as a vehicle to deliver consistent messages on specific training topics across the nation.
