Once you settle in your role, you may find it useful to attend a course in negotiating, public speaking, assertiveness or communication skills.

Courses are often available at reasonable cost in adult continuing education centres. It is often useful to get a group together and arrange some training. Your nominating organisation may be able to support you or have some ideas on where good and affordable training is available.

Your committee may also offer training or professional development opportunities. Discuss your needs with the Committee Chair.
