Viking Magazine - June 2016 - 4

Velkommen
It's Convention Time!
ur biennial International Convention is, perhaps, the most
important event in our organization. As I have mentioned
previously, it is during this meeting that we elect our
international leadership and pass resolutions that will guide our
organization for the next two years.
However, much more than business meetings take place
during our convention. Over the years, delegates have
indicated that networking, socializing and educational
opportunities are extremely valuable components
of their convention experience. As a result, the
Innovative Leadership Conference (ILC) was added in
2010 and has been part of every convention
since. This addition has allowed us to
strengthen our lodges by developing
better leaders within Sons of Norway.
But, each conference has a much broader
application because it is open to all
members, not just delegates or offi cers.
This is important because I believe it
contributes to the betterment of our
entire organization.
Another benefi t of attending the ILC
and the convention is the opportunity to
network and socialize with fellow members
from throughout our organization.
During meals, social activities and coffee
breaks, members share strategies that
they have found successful for their lodge.
Such informal conversations provide a
wealth of information and ideas for lodge
improvement.
O
Deadlines are fast approaching and space
is limited, so now is the time to register if
you plan to attend the ILC, the International
Convention or both. Area resident or not,
delegate or not, elected offi cer or not,
attending the ILC can greatly benefi t you
and your lodge. So, I hope you will join me
in registering for this year's ILC.
Nå er det tiden for kongressen!
M
en det foregår mye mer enn forretningsmøter
på kongressen.
Delegatene har gjennom årene bemerket
at nettverksbygging, sosialt samvær og
utdanningsmuligheter er svært verdifulle
komponenter av kongressopplevelsen.
Derfor ble den Innovative Leadership
Conference (ILC) lagt til i 2010, og har vært
en del av kongressen siden. Dette tillegget
har gjort det mulig å styrke lodgene ved
å utvikle bedre ledere i Sons of Norway.
Men hver kongress har en enda større
betydning fordi den er åpen for alle
medlemmer, ikke bare for delegater eller
tillitsvalgte. Dette er viktig fordi jeg tror
det bidrar til forbedringer i organisasjonen
som helhet.
En annen fordel med å delta på ILC og
kongressen er at man får muligheten til å
bygge nettverk og sosialisere med andre
medlemmer rundt om i organisasjonen.
Under måltider, sosiale aktiviteter og
kaffepauser deles suksessfulle lodgestrategier.
Slike uformelle samtaler gir et vell av
informasjon og ideer for videreutvikling
av lodgene.
Tidsfristen nærmer seg raskt og plassen
er begrenset, så nå er det på tide å
registrere seg hvis man ønsker å delta
på ILC, den internasjonale kongressen,
eller begge deler. Uansett om du bor i
nærområdet eller ikke, og uansett om du
er en delegat, tillitsvalgt eller ikke, kan
deltagelsen din på ILC være til stor nytte
for lodgen din. Så jeg håper du blir med
meg og registrerer deg for årets ILC.
Jon Tehven
International President
