We are almost half way there!

My Brother Knights,

We as the Education, Training, & Communications (ETC) team want to eliminate any obstacles you have in making your council successful. So far this year we have held 12 webinars for training for District Deputies, Grand Knights, & other Council Officers. We have covered topics such as TX DD 101, Council Growth (making your council better), Star Council, The Delta Church Drive System, You Are Your Programs & Member Experience. Our Team is willing to do more, have your District Deputy, Diocesan Deputy, or yourself contact me with your training idea or need. The ETC Team will make it happen.

The current Texas State Council Directory is available on the State website. It is password protected. The password is “tkofc2122”.Use this Directory to find the contact information for all State Officers, Major Directors, Diocesan Deputies & District Deputies.

Hopefully you are utilizing the monthly “Finish Line” to keep you abreast of the events & deadlines for the next 30-60-90 days. Haven’t seen it yet? Contact your District Deputy or visit the State website for the latest version.
