The Leader Department is designed to be a support system for you, the LLLSCANV Leaders. There is the Network Database Administrator (NDA), Network Coordinator of Leaders (NCL) as well as Area Representatives/Area Coordinators of Leaders (AR/ACLs) for each of the 5 Areas which make up LLLSCANV Area Network. The members of the Leader Department are support Leaders, providing specialized support and information for other Leaders and are the first for Leaders to contact for support.
Area Rep/ACLs represent the 5 SCANV Areas as members of the LLLSCANV Area Network Board of Directors. AR/ACLs work together in the Leader Department to support Leaders with timely communication, enrichment opportunities and Network wide opportunity notifications. Ideally Area workshops are offered yearly to help a Leader continue to keep up-to-date with current breastfeeding information, communication skills and management issues. The Leader Department is available to help Leaders work through difficult situations related to running a Group, working with co-Leaders and other aspects of Leader life.
The Area Rep/ACL is the first to contact with questions about Social Media issues, community involvement and mixing causes issues that may come up. The Area Rep will work with the Leader to find solutions so that her time is respected and her efforts well-coordinated with the SCANV Network, LLLUSA and LLL guidelines. The Leader Department helps put all the LLL resources at the service of the Leader as well as communicates the Area Leaders’ concerns and needs to the Board.
The Leader Department is responsible for collecting Leader and Group activity forms twice a year. (Group financial reports, however are requested by the Network Treasurer annually.) These numbers help LLLUSA, the Area and even local Groups to receive grants and funding. It helps us assess the health of a Group and provide information and feedback to help you better lead your Group.
Your Area Rep/ACL represents you and carries Board information to you. Together you can build your Area, holding your own Area Gatherings, workshops, Applicant enrichments, Live Love Latch and so many more LLL outreach activities as you accredit more Leaders and grow!
