The Appointments Advisory Committee (AAC)
===================================

The Appointments Advisory Committee’s main function is to assist with the process of appointing and welcoming volunteers into the Scouts by advising on their suitability.

Their purpose is to:

Welcome the new volunteers to the Scouts.
Ensure that new volunteers are aware and accept the values, policies and promise of the Scouts.
Support volunteers to understand the requirements of their role.
Check that the new volunteer knows where to go for support and who to ask if they need some help.

The Farnham District AAC meets as often is needed welcoming up to 3 new volunteers in a session arranged around the committee and the volunteers.

I like to thank Jane Twitchin who has been our Appointments Secretary for the last 4 years and for agreeing to train up her replacements.

We have decided to split the role to share the load (we are open to variants)

Appointments Secretary
==================

Keep track of appointments email account

New candidates – welcome email and advise of appointments committee

Get reference checks, follow up GSL etc once approved

Appointments Coordinator
====================

Set up appointment panels; book room.

Set up appointments with candidates, ring round, follow up

Follow up on role changes and determine if appointments panel needed

If you are interested, able to help, full training will be given, please get in touch – without this role we can not successfully bring in much needed new volunteers into the District.

Regards,
