Virtual Annual Conference of Trainers 2026!
Calling all Council Trainers. It is time for Annual Conference of Trainers. This year, ACT will be virtual to help minimize impact on the council's MY27 budget. The goal will be to resume ACT in person in 2028.
What is Annual Conference of Trainers (ACT)?
ACT is a time for all active council trainers on the GSVSC Council Trainer Roster to gather, discuss all things training, review procedural updates, welcome new trainers, schedule trainings sessions for the upcoming year, and as time allows, work together to fine tune our training skills and knowledge.
Trainers are required to attend ACT every other year to maintain an active trainer status. To maintain an experienced or master trainer status, one must train at least one session per year.
What do we expect to accomplish at ACT?
Welcome new trainers (completed Training for Trainers in MY26)
