DESCRIPTIONS

CHAPTER OPERATIONS THE TLOD WAY: THIS IS HOW WE DO IT!

The best way for your chapter to be an effective chapter is for it to function according to the rules, guidelines,
practices and concepts as outlined in the TLOD governance documents. This series of workshops will guide you
through everything that you need to know to operate according to TLOD custom and culture. This is perfect for
the new members who come in not knowing about the culture of TLOD. This allows them to start out on the
right foot. It is also perfect for the seasoned member who may have, over the years, gotten her organizations in-
termingled. There is only one way to operate TLOD and that is the TLOD Way! This is how we do it!
