REGIONAL TEAMS AND GOALS 2019/20 A warm welcome to all of you who are just starting in a new leadership capacity. You are in for an exciting experience as Regional Director – there will be some frustration, but there will also be many rewards. Last year, as soon as we were notified of your appointment as Regional Director Elect, each one of you should have received a letter from me with material for your perusal, including the RDE Manual. RD-Elect Memo 1 was sent on 14 May 2019. Please contact IHQ if you have not received any of this material. We are now collating information on RSDs for every service area, and will soon send lists with the name and contact details of every RSD to other RSDs and the respective ASDs and ISDs. If we are missing information from your Region, that service area will not function properly, simply because your RSD will not receive any information to pass on to clubs. We will be sending to all new District Governors, Area and Regional Bulletin Editors and Area and Regional Service Directors the respective manuals or information pamphlets. If you have no Service Director for one or more of these activities and have never received the printed material, please let us know. We will be happy to send whatever material you are missing.
