Resolution:Mentoring New Reps

The following resolution to the April meeting of the Regional Council was was passed unanimously.

The London Transport Regional Council is to introduce a formal and recognized mentor system for all newly elected reps from 2012 onwards This will enable them to be at their most effective and confident during their first year in office, and onwards into the future.
 
The mentor should ideally have at least three years experience locally or be at Level Two in LU company council and would help the new rep in various ways (ie.making sure they have all the basic info when starting out, informing them of things they need to do locally, inviting them to observe in LDIs, DBs etc).

A list of mentors needs to be kept by regional council and issued to Branch Secretaries in December of each year

This will make the Representative much more effective at local level and offer the very best service to our members.

This new system should be in place before the December elections.
