You are invited to review Amanda's final report until Katelyn files her first report this fall.

GOALS

  1. To increase the level of support and development at the Area level of the Central Region by helping to develop an Area TLC/VOA for all 5 Areas in the Central Region.
  2. To increase the level of effective communication across the Central Region by direct and indirect communication.
  3. To help plan and implement programs designed to increase the number of Venturers and Venturing Crews in the Central Region.
  4. To market the Venturing Program every chance I get with the idea of increasing membership and awareness of the Venturing Program.
  5. To promote Venturing Advancement at all opportunities and increase the awareness of the Venturing Awards.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  1. As of May 14th, 8 of the 10 Area level positions have been filled for 2008-2009 and the Central Region Venturing President and Boatswain have been selected.  (This June, I will be leading the Central Region Teen Leaders Council through an orientation and training.)
