When the Leadership Team took office they undertook to attend a Mid-Term Leadership Seminar.
This time it will be at the Thistle Hotel just off J11 of the M5, as this is one of the most accessible venues for the region.
Having consulted the ADs and Ambassadors we have opted for a breakfast meeting on Monday, 30th July. It will be slightly later than a normal chapter meeting to allow for members who have to travel longer distances.
It is as condition of taking office that the three Leadership Team (LT) members attend a mid-term leadership seminar.
It is helpful if other key members of the chapter to come along too. Anyone who aspires to be on a future LT should certainly be making the effort to attend. BNI runs a Leadership Transition Programme (details later this month). Certainly the LT will be seeking to identify names of likely contenders over the next couple of weeks.
In general, all members are welcome. Come and learn from other chapters how they handle the challenges of securing more business for members, of growing their chapters and handling difficult challenges.
These events are extremely useful. The Leadership Team has undertaken to attend as part of their leadership responsibilities. However, there is also a significant advantage to a chapter in the Visitor Hosts, Membership Committee and other members attending.
So, if you are seriously interested in helping the chapter to become the best it can me, make a special effort to come along to one of these events.
