Training Strategy

2

2013 remote training model– CLE content over webinar platform

– Co-leaders: R1 and CLE Volunteers

– Asynchronous and recorded for future use – Build a library for new volunteers

How do other regions train volunteers?– At the section/area level

– Using individual, remote training opportunities

– Grooming through apprenticeship/mentoring (Vice Chairs and Committees)

– NO OTHER REGION uses the legacy R1 face-to-face training model, but many would if they could afford it.

– Financial constraints restrict face-to-face training
