Skål International held the training webinar
'Officers Platform Update' on 23 November, a session for members in leadership positions in Skål International at Club or National Committee level.
During the session, the improvements made to the platform were identified and analysed and questions were answered by Binovo, the company in charge of the development of the platform, as well as by the team of the General Secretary.
The next phase corresponds to the implementation of a demo for the final test as well as the launch of the renewed platform for officers.
Stay tuned!
