> ERA Announces 2023 COLT Graduates
The Electronics Representatives Association announces the latest graduates of its 2023 Chapter Officer Leadership Training (COLT) program, held virtually from Nov. 1-3, 2023.
COLT is an annual instruction program designed to offer practical knowledge, tips and ERA insider information on chapter management and planning tactics to help chapter leaders meet the challenges of serving as volunteer leaders.
The program is coordinated by Cameron English, CPMR, of English Technical Sales; Walter Tobin, CEO of ERA; and Erin Collins, ERA Director of Events.
COLT was held virtually for the third time and featured three days of interactive training. Eleven chapter leaders attended the event, which included opening remarks by Phil Gallagher, CEO of Avnet; a COLT online manual review; a walk-through of the ERA website; mock chapter event planning workshops; a Q&A with a current chapter leader; and a presentation by ERA’s legal counsel Adam Glazer of SFBBG, LLC.
Over a three-day period, COLT attendees learned best practices for planning programming for their local chapters, and exchanged ideas and connected with other chapter leaders.
