Know a community group or company that could thrive with stronger communication and leadership skills? Now’s your chance to make an impact!

You can send names of companies and decision makers to Yuriy Ksenidi, Club Growth Director, warhawkforlife@gmail.com. If the name of the person/company leads to a productive discussion with that individual, or even better, a new club, there are District Dollars in it for your club!
