First Aid KIt - Get prepared for your first Regional Meetingspring RM 2013 with the Orchestra

A Regional Meeting is an internal event hosted by one of the LBGs in your region. The main purpose of an RM is to prepare the General Meeting (GM) delegates for the upcoming GM. Moreover there will be sharing sessions where you learn more about how things work in other LBGs, in addition to discussion groups where the hot topic of BEST will be discussed. You will practice and learn new soft skills, such as project management, presentation skills . And of course you will have a lot of fun and get motivated and inspired! By now if you are a little bit confused, it is totally normal, just keep on reading!
