Just this weekend gone, Region Teams gathered for the Region Personnel Conference, which was delivered with the incredible support of State Leads, as well as co-delivery by Region Managers. Guide House Team also provided such important support to help us walk away feeling ‘energised’. Deep thanks to the facilitators, whether you were a State Lead, Region Manager, or Guide House staff team – your enthusiasm and commitment was so evident. And thanks to all those who participated and brought their energy and positive vibes to help craft and clarify Region Action Plans as we continue in 2023 and look forward to 2024!
There are many special celebrations this week, including National Science Week, National Student Volunteer Week, and International Youth Day! And we hope it provides a great platform to help us recognise the contributions our youth volunteers provide as well as the innovation and future-focus thinking STEM inspires!
