The importance of the Adult Leader Training Team cannot be understated!

With the “backlog” in training now cleared, it is now time for our Regional Team to undergo an evolution in 2025!

Zelda (our current NMB South District Commissioner) is a crucial part of this next stage and forms an important part of the future of Adult Leader Training in our Region. As a result, she needs to be as focused as possible to assist Jeff (our RTC Adult Training) in bringing about this evolution. So, it is best for her to step down as NMB South DC to reduce her load and be able to focus solely on the ALT development to follow.

We hope that members of that District will step forward to pick up the mantle of DC to allow for a smooth transition to occur this year. Not only will that be to the benefit of all members in NMB South, it will assist Zelda in starting this year in earnest with her focused role in the ALT – to the beneft of the entire Region. However, regardless of whether the NMB South DC position is filled, she will step down the latest by the end of December 2024.

The Regional Team therefore needs to fill the position of District Commissioner for NMB South and will need a person who can nurture and continue to grow that District.  

IMPORTANT: Electronic and hardcopy applications will close on Friday 1^st of November at 15h00.
