Quality Unit

Recently, the National Council adapted new criteria for quality unit.  The new criterion involves changes that are overall good for the unit.  One new area allows the unit leader in conjunction with the unit commissioner to create goals, which would help the unit meet it’s full potential.  Another area includes unit commissioner involvement.  Unit commissioners must be attentive to and meet a minimum number of visits per year. The new quality unit requirements are to be fully implemented by the early part of 2007.  Commissioners, please attend commissioner training and get all the details.
