Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your craft, and you have to inspire team-mates always. Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It’s about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others’ success, and then standing back and letting them shine.

The Association wishes you every success for the camp and encourages you to give 110% in what you will be involved with to maximise personal and team benefits.

Enjoy the experience.
