Once they see how effective teaming is , it expands into other areas as well, such as joint rides, socials, etc. One of the challenges we face in Region I is distance. Personally I love open spaces. That is the main reason I moved out west. These open spaces can become a real challenge to the Region and District Officers.
Nothing works better than a chapter visit.
To see commitment to the chapter from District or Region officers is a real boost to everyone. To be realistic, it is very difficult to get to each chapter, either because of distance, meeting times, etc. As District Educators, I suggest working with chapter educators to team them up, especially in remote areas. Encourage visiting educators to make a short presentation at the chapter meeting. Encourage the exchange of newsletter articles and encourage teaming for MSF and first aid classes.
