Leadership Training Program
Training goals have been established for all Regions and Districts. A challenge has been laid down to get all District and Chapter leaders trained. But, don't think that Leadership Training is just for Chapter Directors. It is for everybody... and it is a great way to understand how GWRRA operates. Understanding how and why our association is structured the way it is... and why we do some of the things we do, can help you enjoy your membership in GWRRA even more.
As an additional benefit, you get the opportunity to meet members from other Chapters... and sometimes from other Districts. We all know that you can never have too many friends. So, do your part and sign up. You will have FUN!
Note:
If you haven’t heard from District Staff
within 72 hours of your application, please contact Jim Allen.
The Horizon Program:
The Horizon Program is a fast track overview of the core LTP curriculum with “hands on” training of practical applications, and an excellent class for potential CDs and staff. Horizon is also a great class for the general membership to learn more about teamwork, self-awareness, interpersonal communication, and building better chapters. Members learn about how to have FUN in GWRRA in a challenging day and a half course filled with lots of surprises. It is typically conducted during the winter/early spring months and not during riding season. It is an interactive program – the more everyone participates, the more everyone learns!
