The Personal Touch
Requests for materials that assist districts in developing internal in-servicing of board members are met as promptly, creatively, and completely as possible. Articles containing material which responds to expressed member concerns are recommended for publication in the Journal. The telephone remains one of the most frequent means of meeting the needs of member districts through information, advice, and recommendations for the handling of situations needing immediate attention.
