I want to remind everyone of the upcoming deadline for units to reaching 100% leaders being trained to earn some bragging rights and bling! Any unit who has every registered leader at 100% position-specific trained is going to be recognized by the Atlanta Area Council for such a monumental achievement. The deadline to reach this achievement for this award for 2020 is 8:00 a.m. October 27th.

Deadline to nominate anyone for the positions listed below is October 20.  Please see the announcement below for more info and contact Dave Bone at nominations@gwinnettbsa.org if you have any questions.

FORMAL NOTIFICATION OF DISTRICT ELECTIONS

Dear Scouter,

A district nominating committee is responsible for selecting a slate of competent officers and members at large for the next year. More specifically, the committee (1) reviews the qualifications for district officers and members at large, (2) studies the participation and performance of last year’s officers and members at large, (3) makes suggestions for each officer and member at large, matching skills to needs, and (4) personally contacts each nominee and secures an agreement to serve.

The committee will submit its slate of candidates to the voting members of the district for election on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020 at 7pm by Zoom (see link below).

Becoming a Trained Leader Never Got Easier!

As we approach the fall and begin to see our programs ramping up again, it is important to know our leaders and new parents have the tools they need to run a successful program. Doubly so given the current times. To cater to that need several training opportunities are available to provide those tools. See below for both in-person and teleconference training!
