Central District: 2022-2023 Elks Training Leadership Questions
Welcome to the 2022-23 Leadership Questions for NYS Elks Training
The goal of this is to enlighten our minds more and more with some of the rules and protocols of our Order that the leaders of our Lodges may face. This is intended to be a team achievement to begin the conversation on how to deliberate questions that may arise.
Each Question is linked to an Elk Manual that is here to support our leaders in finding answers. No one Elk knows everything but as leaders in our Lodges it is important to know how to find answers.
Thank you for taking the time to engage in this years Elks Training Program for Lodge Leaders.
