All About Active Community Leaders

Momo51:

Does anyone know how long a community leader need to serve before he or she can qualify for phase 2B? I was told it used to be 3 yrs, but now changed to only 1yr.

I donno but don't think it's one yr. I read somewhere in ksp thread - first year is observer only, second year then \"really do work\". One need to chalk many years of ground work then got a cert. Need this cert to prove that one is a grassroots leader to register in phase 2b.

My colleague's hubby was a rc leader for many years. Way before their kid's were born, he already helping out at that rc. When they wanted to try for Fairfield thru pv, the school rejected their pv application on grounds that they lived more than 1km away. Then they wanted to try the grassroots route. Then got rejected (dunno by who or who tell them) cos the hubby is the rc leader in another constituency. So they gave up and register they kid via phase 2c at a neighborhood school.

You mean the GRL route? Since when and how is it changed? :?

don’t think can go to another GRC. You should serve for Tanjong Pagar GRC.

It has never changed, one must be EM for 1 year. But you got to add in time from register to start as observer (may take 1-3 months as PA quite slow on this and also need screening on your background), then time from observer to EM (may take 6 to 12 months). So it's still more than a year, usually needs at least 2 yrs (on safe side) if you are the \"on\" type, else may take longer or even terminate even before becoming EM if you're the sleeping type.

Distance is a major factor. You would be wasting time going by GRL route for Rosyth as you may not even get a chance to ballot in P2B (provided you are eligible for it).
