Recording of New Leaders on the
Database Leaders who joined prior to the beginning of 2013 will have their position on the database recorded as Leader Prospective. Those Leaders who are new this year will be recorded as Unit Leader— Interim regardless of whether they are intending to be Unit Leaders or Assistant Unit Leaders.

and Region Team Members Have your say on what the new Management Qualification will look like. Complete the survey at www. research. net / s / YC796LF. The survey will close on 7 July. Help make the perspective of GGQ leaders heard! If you have any questions on this research, contact me.
Outdoor Leaders The GGA Learning and Development and Outdoors teams are working on finalising a trial version of the Outdoor Learning Passport. This will be set up similar to the Leadership Learning Passport but cater specifically to those who wish to focus on the delivery of outdoor activities to our Members. Outdoor Leaders will not be required to gain a Unit Leader or Assistant Unit Leader qualification. Unit Leaders and Assistant Unit Leaders will still have the opportunity to gain outdoor skills and qualifications without the expectation of gaining the Outdoor Leader qualification.
Leader Handbooks
As a result of Support Centre flooding in late January, GGQ lost 112 Leader Handbooks. The supply of Leader Handbooks has now sold out in Queensland. However, Girl Guides Victoria is willing to sell Queensland Leaders a Leader Handbook to ensure that our Leaders have access to this important resource.
Further Development Modules Many people have been asking what is happening to these and I can finally advise that they are being revised. Some will be released as Outdoor Modules set up in the same format as the Leadership Learning Passport and require assessment, while others will be released as Learning Topics for Leaders to explore those topics most relevant to their girls or themselves personally. The Learning Topics will not be assessed and no certificate will be given on completion.
As a result, the existing Further Development modules that were available on the GGA website have been removed. If you are working on any Further Development modules, you have until 31 December 2013 to complete these if you would like to receive a certificate for them.
Check the GGA website over the coming months as the Learning Topics and Outdoor Learning Modules are finalised and posted there.
National Implementation Project
While the changes to the Leadership Qualification for Unit Leaders and Assistant Unit Leaders are being implemented throughout Australia, the Learning & Development Teams have been working on the next phases of the Implementation Project.
Further Development Modules for Appraisal
From now on, there will be no requirement to complete Further Development modules( or their equivalent) for an appraisal.
Suspension of Current Appraisal Process
The current appraisal process will be suspended from 1 July 2013 until February
