Convention

Cosmopolitan International Convention provides an excellent learning opportunity for various topics, such as Diabetes, Diabetes Alert Dogs (DAD), officer training and orientation, fundraising opportunities, membership sponsorship and retention techniques, and more...

 

And of course there is the networking opportunities with members from other clubs, both in the US and Canada. Once you attend an International Convention, you will want to put each future one on your calendar and BE THERE!
