District/State Director Training

In collaboration with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), CMF offered a series of webinars for District/State Directors in 2011, based on CMF's guidebook for managing district and state offices, Keeping It Local. The slides and additional materials for these programs are below.

In 2012, under contract with the CAO, CMF is offering a series of webinars for House district/state staff, not just District/State Directors. Please visit our Events Calendar for upcoming programs.
