Branch Councillor<\/a>, this is your opportunity!<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s in it for me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- You\u2019ll gain skills that stick with you<\/strong>. Every part of the leadership experience helps build skills that you can use in your personal and professional life, like time management and critical thinking. Plus, you can tap into specialized learning and development programmes through Foresters Academy \u2013 a curated library of courses about leadership, communication, teamwork, volunteerism and innovation.<\/li>\n
- You\u2019ll travel and learn from experts<\/strong>. Invitations to an exclusive conference to give our member leaders a chance to learn from leadership experts, attend unique training workshops and network with other member leaders.<\/li>\n
- You\u2019ll enjoy rewarding volunteer experiences<\/strong>. Foresters is all about giving back, and you\u2019ll have the chance to volunteer with leading charities across the United Kingdom and North America. But if you want to go above and beyond, you can also access a set of specialized funds to help put on community activities and give back to more people and charities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What would my responsibilities be?<\/strong><\/p>\nIt might sound too good to be true, but once elected all you have to do is commit to supporting Foresters Purpose through activity involvement in your local community and collaborating with like-minded member leaders once a month. If you\u2019re someone with a passion for people, being a Branch Councillor will be right up your alley!<\/p>\n
Do I need any special skills?<\/strong><\/p>\nNope! All you need is the passion to do more for yourself and your community. That\u2019s it! No matter what your professional background is, you can apply to become a Branch Councillor.<\/p>\n
