Train the Trainer
Roosevelt National staff knows how tough it was to recruit and retain chapter members last year, and that not every chapter leadership team could attend Hyde Park 2021. That’s why we are rolling out a series of training toolkits to help you get your chapter up and running this fall! These training toolkits will help you learn how to effectively train your members on the core skills every Roosevelt Network member needs to be successful.
