Viking Magazine - January 2016 - 4
Velkommen
Forberedelse til Tacoma
Preparing for Tacoma
G
loria and I love to travel.
We enjoy meeting new
people, trying new foods and
experiencing different cultures. Of all
our trips, our travels to Norway are
the most memorable. Perhaps it is the
opportunity to experience the land
of our ancestors that makes them so
meaningful. So, we always
look forward to the
January issue of Viking
magazine to give us
ideas for our next
Norwegian
adventure.
Speaking
of traveling,
this issue also
includes an
informative
article about
our upcoming
International
Convention,
which will
take place
in Tacoma,
Wash., this
August. Not
only is Tacoma
an amazing
place to visit,
but the purpose
for the trip is to
participate in
what is arguably the most important
event within Sons of Norway. Our
biennial International Lodge Meeting
is an opportunity for us to come
together to conduct the business of
Sons of Norway. During this meeting,
delegates, who have been elected at
their district conventions, debate
issues and vote on resolutions and
bylaw changes. The decisions made by
these representatives will chart the
course for our organization for the
next biennium.
While the International Lodge
Meeting is reason enough to travel to
Tacoma, the Innovative Leadership
Conference (ILC), provides an
additional incentive. Scheduled for
August 24, this conference is open to
all Sons of Norway members. Those
who have attended in the past will
gain additional skills to add to their
repertoire. First time attendees will
learn tools and tactics to help them
improve their lodge, as well as develop
their leadership skills to enhance their
professional life.
Begin your trip to Tacoma by
becoming a delegate fi rst to your
district convention and then to the
International Lodge Meeting. Whether
a delegate or not, I would encourage
you to participate in the ILC. It's an
exceptional opportunity for personal
and professional development.

Gloria og jeg elsker å reise. Vi liker å treffe
nye mennesker, smake ny mat og oppleve
ulike kulturer. Av alle reisene våre er
turene til Norge de mest minneverdige.
Kanskje det er muligheten til å oppleve
våre forfedres hjemland som gjør dem
så betydningsfulle. Derfor gleder vi
oss alltid til januarutgaven av Vikingmagasinet
som gir oss ideer til vår neste
Norgesopplevelse.
Apropos reiser, denne utgaven inneholder
også en informativ artikkel om
vår kommende internasjonale kongress
som avholdes i Tacoma, Washington, i
august. Tacoma er ikke bare et fantastisk
sted å besøke, men hensikten med reisen
er å delta på det som kan være Sons of
Norways viktigste begivenhet. Vår toårlige
internasjonale kongress er anledningen
til å komme sammen for å drive Sons of
Norway forretningsvirksomhet. På dette
møtet skal delegatene som ble innvalgt
på distriktsmøtene diskutere saker og
stemme på resolusjoner og forslag til
vedtektsendringer. Avgjørelsene som
disse representantene tar skal kartlegge
kursen for organisasjonen i den neste
toårsperioden.
Selv om det internasjonale lodgemøtet
er grunn nok til å reise til Tacoma, gir den
Innovative Leadership Conference (ILC) en
ekstra incentiv. Denne konferansen, som
er planlagt for august 24, er åpen for alle
medlemmer av Sons of Norway. De som
har deltatt tidligere vil få ytterligere ferdigheter
som de kan legge til repertoaret.
Førstegangsdeltakere får opplæring i
verktøy og taktikker de kan bruke for å
styrke lodgen, samt utvikle lederegenskaper
til nytte i sine egne yrkesliv.
Start turen til Tacoma ved først å bli
en delegat til distriktsmøtet og deretter
til det internasjonale lodgemøtet. Enten
du er en delegat eller ikke oppfordrer jeg
deg til å delta på ILC-konferansen. Det er
en enestående mulighet for personlig og
profesjonell vekst.
