After a lunch break, the Executive Committee meeting was called to order. Reports were presented by the various lodge officers and chapter representatives. Issues that were discussed were: Spring Conclave/Ordeal weekend promotions; unit O.A. elections; Lodge T-shirts; the O.A. Unit Representative program; and the lodge campership patch program.
Other business included approving the Lodge schedule for the next year; fine-tuning the schedules for the Spring and Fall Conclave/Ordeal weekends; reviewing and approving the lodge budget for the upcoming year; and working on the 2010 Quality Lodge Petition, and setting lodge goals for 2010.

It consists of the elected youth officers, appointed youth committee chairman, chapter representatives, and Advisors.
Lodge Leadership Development (LLD)
Each year, the leaders of Tetonwana Lodge gather for a Lodge Leadership Development event. The purpose of the event is to build the team of lodge leaders who will guide the Lodge for the coming year. This event consists of a number of training sessions that will help us all focus our attentions on issues our lodge needs to again attain the National Quality Lodge distinction. As a leader, your attendance is vital to your success in the coming year.
This is our yearly training for all Chapter Officers and Advisers. Here you will learn how the Lodge operates and how your Chapter should operate. If you are a Chapter Officer or Adviser - or if you want to be one - this is the place for you.
