I’m Karen, and I currently hold the roles of County Leadership Qualification (LQ) Coordinator and Mentor Coordinator.
As LQ Coordinator I keep an eye on new leaders starting out on their guiding adventure and current leaders adding a section to their qualification or maybe taking on the Unit Leader role. I work with a team of lovely ladies who match Leaders in Training with local Mentors, and we try to ensure that the LQ process is a happy experience for all involved.
As Mentor Coordinator I help our Mentors stay up to date with guiding policies and information and arrange socials.
I need a Mentor!
Here you will find the Mentor Request Form. You will need a mentor to complete the Leadership Qualification.
We've kept the information we request from you to a minimum and when the form is completed it's pinged straight to Karen and the process begins.
Complete today!
