The General
Conference now requires that all Local Lay Speakers take a REFRESHER COURSE
at least once every 3 years ... or ... a full credit of NYAC approved
advanced Lay Speaker Workshop(s). |
|
|
The Following Workshops
Qualify for Advance Credit: |
IMPORTANT: Note that since
ten hours of class room time (excludes breaks and meal times) are required
as minimum performance every three years, some classes will only provide
partial credit for less than ten hours.
That means that a two-and-one-half hours would have a credit value of .25;
or five hours has a credit value of .50.
Full credit requires a total of at least 1.0 from any combination of partial
credit over the period of three consecutive years..
|
| Lay
Speakers are encouraged to seek additional training and education to be as
effective as possible. |
