3 months if chairman approves in the NC. Not sure about RC, heard they might be more strict. also it depends on how many people on the committee - there are quotas i think.

Same for NC & RC. It depends a lot on your commitment and contributions, attendance to meeting/events regularly is also one consideration. So it ALL depends on you on how fast you can become an EM. Important to note is that the date (on the appointment letter) the PA confirms you as EM is more crucial. Confirmation of EM is usually announced in meeting and minuted. For our RC, we have a sub-committee to review and confirms member and announced in meeting, and confirmed if no other member opposed it. This sub-comm also remove sleeping observers.

That will still depend how efficient is PA and your supporting community centre

MOE is really slow and inefficient! Can't even do such simple updates asap in today's technology. Emailed few times and no response at all from them. Really hopeless, how to entrust our kids to such inefficient organisation?

well.... registration via grc volunteerism is a benefit, not a right and can be taken away at any time. it is not MOE's charter to tell us which schools belong to which GRC.

You are right. I am in Aljunied GRC as a active grassroot leader , thinking of getting my son to Xin Min primary school this year . But because of the GE and relocation of the zoning, Xin Min primary becoming under Ang Mo Kio GRC. The rest of the schhol like Monfort and yio chu kand is not a good school which are outside my list . as for Hougang primary is under punggol / sengkang SMC / GRC.
Now i really have not much choice to go. If i know the case, I should not have to join RC, end up this happen. Thinking of getting MP help to write a letter, their reply is they can help but not 100% confirm the principle will accept it cos it belong to other GRC .
