Do you have the leadership skills to help your association succeed?  Leadership issues for associations are many and varied, and they affect every aspect of your organization. This workshop addresses some of the challenges you may face in your organization and will help improve not only how your association functions but will benefit your own professional skills as well. Learn how to promote excellence among volunteer leaders and so much more! The IFDH is committed to a quality in leadership for all its member associations. With that in mind, this workshop will be led by our own delegates who will share their experiences and help provide guidance so that we all may succeed.
