Strength in Unity
The theme for this year’s historic D-Train is “Strength in Unity”.
What makes this event historic is that for the very first time, two Districts have united to coordinate a D-Train that would present a broad array of workshops, seminars and mandated training.
Late last year we had a joint Leadership Development Academy that was very well received by all attendees, and this is the next step.
Instructors from both Districts are teaming up to make these presentations, thereby offering attendees a wealth of knowledge, perspective, and experience.
Members may look forward to the numerous benefits of this collaborative effort:
• Integration of cultures, best practices, and
lessons learned
• Furthering our diversity commitment
• Cost savings enabling us to offer more
• Unique networking and fellowship
opportunities
At the end of the day we all wear the same uniform, share the same core values, the same missions, the same goals, and the same challenges – and by approaching our challenges together, we vastly increase our successes.
One District, one direction, moving forward.
Semper paratus.
Respectfully,
Gus Formato
