Property Study Coming Soon: How will you be a part of it?

Do you have knowledge and experience in land development and construction? Do you have expertise developing market surveys and analyzing data? Is program your “thing”? Are you able to think outside of the box to come up with a dynamic vision for the utilization of our property across the Council? If your answer to any of these questions is YES, please read more about the sub-committees that are forming and complete the Volunteer Long Range Planning Indicator, telling us how your professional and/or volunteer experiences relate to the Council’s long range plan and how you would like to participate.

REMINDER: Delegate Elections!

Delegate and Alternate Delegate elections for every Service Unit are coming up again this fall. Even if your Service Unit would like to keep the current delegate/alternate, they must be elected again.

All elections must have occurred by December 15, 2013 and the Election Form turned in to council immediately after to delegate@gsofct.org or Delegate Elections, 340 Washington Street, Hartford, CT 06106.
