The Convention of States Illinois leadership team got together on July 18 for training as well as to celebrate their continued success during this challenging time.
Many of these leaders spent many hours traveling in order to meet, share experiences with each other, and learn more about COS from Regional Director Monica Sellers and State Director David Winters.
This team has a lot to celebrate, since they are growing at a rapid pace and have shown a focus on building a grassroots army that is gaining national recognition.
Additionally, State Information Analyst Martha (Marty) Brenner was honored with the coveted COS Challenge Coin. This award is limited to 300 and is reserved for those who have shown exceptional work for COS. The Illinois team agrees that they made a wise choice to add Marty to that group.
Marty has used her technology skills to learn the COS system and achieved the expert level of training. She is an indispensable resource for the Illinois leadership team with her tech training skills and her willingness to answer every question and resolve every problem brought to her.
Beyond that Marty has also jumped in and taken on District Captain duties, working on the state Follow Up Team. Congratulations, Marty! The Illinois team is thankful that the national organization recognizes what we already know: you are an exceptional patriot.
The Illinois team has accepted a challenge to continue growing this leadership team, so we expect great things from this group or patriots. Don't be surprised if Illinois is the first blue state to pass the resolution!
