leaders who have clear understandings of
the responsibilities, opportunities and
challenges of their positions, are excited to
serve the members in their chosen roles,
and have at least one mentor to guide
them.

Leaders understand scope of role
Excited to serve

By July 1, 85% of the Division and Area
Directors will have received training at

The mission is to recruit district leaders
so that 95 percent are in place by the
transition meeting (May 21, 2016) and
100 percent are in place by July 1,
2016. Potential leaders will be clearly
informed about their roles and assisted
with finding a mentor, if they don’t have
one.
