Enhancing Member Experience by Creating a Culture of Engagement
This training on Enhancing Member Experience by Creating a Culture of Engagement is one of the most important we have to offer. As our councils actively engage members, their experience is far more positive, which leads to new men joining our councils and it allows us to do more charitable work. During this training presentation, we will:

Highlight the important relationship between member experience and member engagement
Complete a Council Engagement Assessment and know your council’s current engagement score
Provide your council specific tools to improve your council engagement score
Answer as many of your questions as possible

Diocesan Exemplification - POSTPONED

Diocesan Exemplification – POSTPONED
After prayerful consideration and discussions with several Dallas Knights and a conversation with our WSD Elect Alfredo, we have decided to postpone the Diocesan Exemplification scheduled for July 9 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. It is our hope that this will soon be behind us and we will reschedule this Exemplification at a later date.

This will be a “Live” Exemplification and our new State Deputy Alfredo Vela plans to attend.
What better way to welcome the New Fraternal Year than to welcome in NEW Brothers into the Order and advance others throughout the Diocese to their Major degrees! The Dallas Diocesan Chapter will host an Exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity on Thursday July 9 at Council Hall 799. We will meet the new candidates at 6:30 PM and begin the Exemplification at approx. 7:15 PM.
Reminder that in all our recruiting efforts, be sure to invite the families of the candidates to attend the Exemplification. Our goal is to have a minimum of 4 Men from Each District be exemplified. This could be New Members, conversion of an E-member to a council or an advancement to 2nd and 3rd Degree. To assist in welcoming in the New Year and the New members will be our New State Deputy Alfredo Vela and his lovely wife Rosa!
