Nominations are sought for candidates for candidates for this season’s NOrth Midlands Leadership Academy which will be held at Worcester and Telford from November onwards.
North Midlands combined with Warwickshire in an RFU Leadership Academy in 2013-14 but have now been awarded a sole Academy for this season.
Running a rugby club has become more complex, with issues such as budgets,ground maintenance costs, sponsorship and the problems with HMRC in respect of paying staff andin some cases, players. Succession pnlanning for club officers to ensure that those taking on posts have the necessary skills and competencies has become more important.
The only payment for the Academy is a £100 refundable deposit to encourage commitment to the course, which is refunded to the club by North Midlands RFU on completion of the course by their candidate.
Mentors, to assist the Academy candidates with their progress in the course are also being sought.
Full details of the Academy can be found at: www.englandrugby.com/myrugby/volunteers/leadership-academy
The deadline for nominations is September 9. Details of nominees, including full name, home and mobile numbers and email addresses should be sent to:
