I have seen my fair share of GRLs, some want to serve, some want power, some want to be in the limelight, some just want a free meal. So what is important varies with each individual.
Being a Community leader is a tough job. You should compose yourself and you should always think about what's good for everybody. You should always weigh things to know which are more important. -

the serve first shift later strategy will mostly work if you move constituency within your own GRC since you should have build up rapport within the GRC, but across different GRCs its a different ball game. Some RC/NC will put you back to observer first before confirming you as EM again since they are not familiar with you thus resulting in not getting 2 years of continuous service. Key word is continuous.
Just join the RC/NC at Current TPY residence, serve 2-3 years and meet the min. Then shift house to TP GRC and come registration time will be eligible for TP GRC schools.Davischew\" post_id=\"1960390\" time=\"1579709129\" user_id=\"132882:

Not so simple. If you don’t understand my words, you are clearly not ready
When most people talk about volunteering as a GRL, they are referring to the RC (or NC) because it’s the easiest to be accepted. However, One of the requirements to be nominated / accepted as a RC member is you must be living within the RCs Zone (see PA). Therefore, serve first move later is not possible for RC.
Now, Phase 2B is more than serving in RC. Other eligible GRO are CCC, CCMC and CDC. You do not have to live in the constituency to serve in these (which would be great for your plan) but good luck trying to “sign up” for them if you are a no-Mark :evil:
Having said the above, sometimes even moving within GRC also can give problem as the GRO you shift to may be full of observers waiting to convert and cannot accept new EM/observers, thus resulting in you losing continuous GRL status, and not qualify for Phase 2B.
As I always say, it is not a given that the new GRO you are shifting to, will accept you with open arms since the dynamics of each GRO is different.[/quote]EM is certified byPA, and you serve in your RC. Doesn’t make sense to be observer again , or you met real cases? -

Second, the RC/NC chairman will be consulted to whether u will be given EM or observer. As I said before, some RC/NC do not have enough members, so any tom,dick or harry say want to join, they will welcome u. While my RC have full EM membership, and packed to the brim with observers waiting to convert, some waited as long as 1.5 years before getting converted to EM.

For my case, I have one Vice Chairman from another GRC who come over to join us. My chairman say to him, need him to become observer first, see his performance first before giving him EM and appointment and he wait 6mths before becoming EM. So even though PA give out the title but every GRO is different. Unless u got very powerful connection, things might be different. If u think u can waltz into any RC/NC and say I want to join u, they will give u EM straight away, think again. -
Further to add on. EM is not lifetime membership, it is subjected to renewal every 2 years.

Wah, “Packed to the brim” - must be some super hot primary school nearby.

Mine is a matured estate but we have new BTOs that was completed recently, we have been seeing more young parents wanting to join. And yes, there are a few quite highly sought after primary school in my GRC.

I think every GRC will have a few highly sought after primary schools. Can’t think of any GRC where there is none.

There are schools with long history which traditionally are highly sought after and there are those relative new schools with MVP too. Mine is the former.floppy\" post_id=\"1962459\" time=\"1581041907\" user_id=\"97579:Extreme far east don’t have...(?)
