Hey Lake Ontario Region!

The Regional Leadership Network (RLN) is back for Round 2! A few months ago we launched the first round of RLN committees, and now we’re opening the door for more members to get involved and help shape the future of our region.

RLN is an opportunity for members from every chapter, regardless of position or grade, to raise their hand and help build our region. Whether you want to plan events, develop new ideas for our regional priorities, or strengthen connections between chapters across the Lake Ontario Region, there are so many ways to step up and lead.

If you didn’t apply in Round 1, this is your chance! And if you did apply before but want to get involved in something new, we’d still love to hear from you.

Don’t hesitate to text or email us if you need anything or have an idea for something you don’t see here. Please also share these opportunities with any Aleph or BBG you think could make a difference in our region. Everyone should have the chance to apply, so spread the word to friends, chapter group chats, WhatsApp groups, and beyond.

We’re excited to see what you bring to RLN!

Sincerely,

Zoe Hiltz-Fishman, nsiah@bbyo.ca
Elliot Kritzer, godol@bbyo.ca
Your 46th Regional Presidents
