GYCA RFPs and staff met to discuss RFP's work, challenges and goals.
We discussed how to help the RFPs create new policies to ensure greater accountability, communicativeness, ownership and responsiveness. RFPs who take leadership and contribute on a regular basis are often rewarded with free opportunities to represent GYCA at international events such as this conference. RFPs and NFPs who fall out of contact and shirk their responsibilities will be asked to leave and will be replaced.
The GYCA member’s meeting is tomorrow (Wednesday) from 6-8pm in the Bild hostel.
