Does the process for PA apply to RC too?

tegami:

As per PA guideline, it was mentioned that only committee members in RC/NC, CCMC & CCC are qualify under phase 2B. However, note that CCMC & CCC is by recommendation from SCM due to your performance & dedication as grassroots leader or your profession as lawyer or director. Getting into WEC, SCEC & YEC is easier but you need to find out whether these committee members are also qualify under phase 2B. You can call up any CCs and talk to the SCM for clarification on this issue.

Hi tegami,

Just curious, why does lawyer or director gets into the committee automatically? Any other professions endorsed?

Thanks & Best Regards,

Hi Chie, actually this is my personal opinion.

Your SCM will normally recommend you into RC, WEC, CDEC, SCEC, CSC as observer. After serving observer for a certain period (normally in April), you will be appointed an executive member and will serve for two year. You will be re-appointed if your attendance is okie. If the SCM/ACM think highly of you, you might be appointed as chairman, secretary and treasurer.

For YEC (between 15 to 35 year old), you will need to stand for election between July to October depending in the date of their BGM. Once elected, you will go for a closed-door session where the elected members select the chairman, secretary, treasurer and committee member. After which, you will serve for two year until the next BGM.

CCC is the management team for constituency-based committee such as RC, CSC & CDEC while CCMC is the management team for community centre based committee such as WEC, SCEC, YEC, IAEC & MAEC.

The committee members for CCC & CCMC are normally previous chairman or other office bearer (secretary or treasurer) in constituency-based committee or community centre based committee respectively.

There is occasion where the SCM recommend individual who have been actively involving in PAP branch or professional with strong management skill into the CCC/CCMC.

Actually, it is the SCM who make the decision where he/she wants to assign the volunteers based on his/her requirements.

So just speak to your SCM to find out more.

Dear Sir,

Can explain what is the abbreviatiions as follow:

RC, WEC, CDEC, SCEC, CSC. YEC, CCC, CCMC, SCM :?

Wow entering thru Grassroot Path seem very complicated.

Like that meaning must be very hard working in the committee so that can be Executive Member.


Like that then can have account to login get recommendation letter.
Any RC members starts to apply already? Can share how the process like?

Once you are appointed as grassroot leader in any committee, you will be given a grassroots connect account. You can use the account to apply for NACLI course. For application of phase 2B, just log on during the execrise period to apply.

Whether you want to be hardworking or not depend on you. There are a lot of RCs who are mostly in the 'sleepy' mode and they just attend monthly meeting to clock their attendence.

As a community leader, you are actually managing a committee. You can be a 'sleeping' community leader or you can use the opportunity to practise leadership and management skill.

If you see the previous forum thread on 25 Feb 2009 10:30 at page 4 and you will see the explanation.

Actually, all the committee serve different functions in the constituency. For joining RC, just go to talk to SCM of the community centre in your constituency. For other committees, you can go to any community centers in Singapore.

One CRITICAL thing to note here when you want to go via this route: make sure that whatever the SCM/ACM says MUST be in writing. You do not want to be treated as free labour. Try whatever means to get the agreement in writing. Take it from someone who was cheated.

Hi voltes5,

If you get into the committee and be an executive member, surely they will update the org chart or this will be minuted right, how can they \"cheat'? Can share a bit more of your experience?

Thanks & Best Regards,
