Action Plan for 2019-2020
Australia Region
Doug Turnbull, RDE of Australia Region
1. Specific Goals during the term
- Undergo Regional Director Training in Australia under the direction of Wayne Cameron, RSD for Leadership and Education
2. Specific Objectives/Activities during this reporting period
- Meet with Executive of Region to acquaint myself with present strategies and goals of Region
- Develop strategic plans for consideration by Region in October 2019.
- Select a team of experienced people to operate as my support group for my two years in office
3. Future Activities Planned
- Liaise with and draw on resources of local YMCA in considering the development of clubs structured for and run by young people presently associated with the Y.
4. Challenges
- While I have been President of my Club three times I have had very little involvement in the wider structure of Y’s Men. Hence my learning curve over the next 9 months will be steep.
- I belong to an age cohort which, while it represents the age of club members in Australia, puts me well outside the age-range of the type of people our movement needs to attract into membership.
- My lifestyle is presently pleasantly full, not least with 12 grandchildren living nearby. My challenge is to find the time and discipline to commit what is needed to fulfil the role of Regional Director of the Australian Region.
