As presented at the Mid-Year Conference in Costa Mesa training through Moose International is being reworked to try and make the training a better learning experience for our members. This will take time so we will do our best to offer existing training so our members have what they need for their personal training requirements as they take office for the new Moose year which will begin on May 1, 2025.
Lodge Two Section Hands on Technical Training otherwise known as a 2 HOTT is being offered in the northern and southern portions of California and is advertised on the California Nevada Moose Association (CNMA) website > CNMA Education. The first session is being offered on Friday April 11th at Ventura Lodge 1394. The second session is being offered on Friday May 2nd at Monterey Lodge 876. This is so those who want to attend an Administrator School can do so before those sessions are offered. Lodge Administrators who need these sessions in order to attend an Administrator School will be given first priority. Remember to read the announcement to ensure you bring a computer to fully participate in the session.
Chapter Advocate Cindy Raslavsky has scheduled WOTM 2 HOTT sessions for Chapter Treasurers. Those sessions will be posted to the CNMA Website > CNMA Education page by Cindy. Registration for those sessions will be handled by Cindy and will not follow the standard online registration process for all other sessions offered within the CNMA. She is your single point of contact, and her contact information can be found on the Women of the Moose section of the CNMA Website as well as in the announcements.
Lodge Administrators are encouraged to attend the Administrator Schools currently scheduled for Saturday April 12 and Sunday April 13 at Ventura Lodge 1394 or Saturday May 3 and Sunday May 4 at Monterey Lodge 876. Lodge Administrators will be given first priority for these sessions so please pre-register ASAP so you can print the materials necessary for attendance.
In classroom, Lodge Leadership sessions are currently scheduled throughout the CNMA. They are advertised on the CNMA Website > CNMA Education page. However, this training is still available online on the Moose International website > Moose Training > Moose Online Training. It is important to remember that if you take it online you must ensure that you complete the Lodge Leadership Assessment Test and get a certificate validating that you achieved the required 80% score needed to receive credit and get it posted to your Member record. All Lodge Officers are required to complete this training every three years to remain eligible to be a Lodge Officer.
All the specifics on what is need to eligible to be a Lodge Officer or remain current on your training requirements can be found on the CNMA Website > CNMA Education page > Moose Required Training.
