Hi Stephen,

I received your Leadership Shadowing Initiative application. Attached is the toolkit that explains the program and contain scenarios that are to be completed by March 8, 2013. Contact your interested positions if you have any questions or need help with the scenarios.  You and the REB Member that you are shadowing are expected to talk about your position of interest. You are responsible to make contact, so feel free to ask any questions you may have. REB Officer, please inform our member of what goes into being in your position and any tips and advice that you may have. Good luck and have fun! =)
