Education corner: Here is another tip on how to strengthen any organization from Christopher New Notes, N.Y. “Keep in mind the purpose of your organization.” Any group can inadvertently lose sight of its objectives or drift into side issues. Occasionally review the constitution, by laws and operating procedures of any group to which you belong. Persuade fellow members also to stick to the purpose of your organization. If certain goals or methods appear to be outmoded, take steps to have them updated.——————————————————————————–
