Join County Staff and your County Leaders for this unmissable CPD weekend, packed with energising competition, inspiring workshops, regional and peer teamwork, and plenty of opportunity to connect and collaborate and practice being the role models your members look up to!
You will gain practical tips, hands on planning time, and real-life tools to take your county ’s events, inclusion, and member engagement to the next level. Plus, expect buckets of laughs, friendly rivalries and lots of YFC-style networking along the way!
Sessions will include key topics:
Following your feedback from last year, all three days are now open to both County Staff and County Leaders—so you can choose which days suit your work and home commitments. While we would love you to stay the full weekend, we understand that may not be possible.
Friday Focus: AI tools; best practice sharing; collaborative programming; (ideal for those running the county office and shaping the county as a positive role model organisation)
Saturday Focus: Event safety; coaching and mentoring (intro); inclusion for recruitment and retention; and ethical decision making (staff & leaders working as one team of role models)
Sunday Focus: Leadership self-assessment, challenges & pledges, translating values into county success as visible role models.
