The current Region 5 leadership believes now is the right time to put together the structure necessary to encourage and develop future leaders within the Region. One of the ways this can occur is by leveraging the Committees/Activities within the Region. These Committees are run by experienced Masters and other leaders in the Region. By having additional staff work with existing leadership, we have an opportunity to pass on hard won knowledge and experience and reduce the overall workload on each individual.
