TLC 2021 Preview

Training Leaders of Cadets is the premiere venue for Cadet Programs Officers to learn how to become better mentors of cadets and more effective managers of cadet squadrons. To foster collegial discussions among adult volunteers, cadets are prohibited from attending.

Explanation of Changes
