Thank you to the district leaders who attended 2010-2011 Mid-year Training. Your participation made it a great success. This year's training brought with it several exciting and challenging firsts: For the first time, trainings were held outside of North America: in Dubai and Malaysia. In addition, the regions were grouped in different pairings from previous years and the results were overwhelmingly positive. With its emphasis on discussion and interaction, this year's mid-year training was an educational accomplishment for all.
