Yes, but not from CC, he/she is from PA. He is suppose to tbe there to update all on upcoming constituency or national level events and to take action items if there's any for PA.
I know there is a rep from the Community Centre attending the monthly meeting. This is the PA staff that you are mentioning?timtim:
Err...interesting, since you said you have been EM for 1+ yr, you must have known your PA staff. He/she usually will be present during monthly meeting or events/activities. -

Our RC is attended by police rep from NPC, TC rep as well as PA rep on monthly basis. This is important for direct info from the relevant dept on things happening in our area and also for members to feedback directly.

Was @ one of the NACLI training, and we were just sharing ideas among one another from different districts.

Was surprised that these so-called standard procedures, which we all assumed, were not adhered to.
So whose fault? -
[you will get a letter or a note during your rc meeting with a website and password for you to log in an register. and after you register you will get a letter for you to bring to the school. it may take a few weeks for the letter to arrive.[/quote]
Hi, 'learningtobekiasu'
Thanks for ur reply!
Actually I got inform from Chairman, ask me directly go login PA <Grassrootsconnect>website, can see it & do register, but inside nothing related P1 register.
the website you mentioned is 'GrassrootsConnect'?
Thanks[/quote]
you will only see the option if you are eligible. i don't think the 2011 one is open for regs yet. but you should check with PA.[/quote]
Once the registration for GRLs is out for registration, can any member help to alert us through this forum? Most newbies like us who have just completed one yr service may missed out on this if our RC/PA rep are not so proactive in assisting us.. :thankyou: -

I agree with you. I was with the grassroots even before I got married. Did not even know about this benefit until I had kids. During these years, saw many volunteers who joined because of phase 2B. The best part, the EM positions are not in RC but in CCMC or CCC. They don't even come for meetings once their kids got into the school.then parents need to search their own heart, find out how genuinely noble they are in offering rc work.
to me, i think there are 2 groups of parents. One type are those who genuinely contribute their precious time selflessly to do volunteer RC work, for the benefit of the RC zone they stay in. These are the selfless lot, and i truly salute them. They are rare ones, but they do exist.
the 2nd group are those who want some benefit out of it. If you read past pages in this case, there were cases reported who once their kid got in ideal school, they stop rc work. Means once they achieve their objective, that's it. Not interested anymore. If supposing one day this benefit of choosing ideal school is taken out and removed totally as a benefit, i v much doubt they want to volunteer.
Of course having the benefit help to get more volunteer for the short term and hopefully in the longer term, a few will continue to serve the community. -
Hi,
I would like to solicit some feedback on your respective RC/NC’s criteria in confirming Observers as Executive Members. The following criteria was set some time ago by our RC and it seems pretty stringent to me and I am currently reviewing it for my RC and to formalise it. My idea is to issue a checklist to observer so he/she has full control and knows when he/she is due for confirmation. I believe it will also make the whole process more transparent. Appreciates your frank feedback if you are aware of your RC/NC’s practices. Tks.
=========================================
The Criteria for the confirmation of Observer as Executive Member:
(a). Attended 75 % of the Meeting
(b). Organised 3 to 6 Floor Parties
. Organised 1 to 3 Block Parties or 1 Divisional Event
(d). Positive contributions to the community and RC
Once the above criteria are met, Observer may be confirmed as Executive Member.
========================================== -
