Understanding and acceptance of the legal duties and responsibilities of a World Board member. | Skill Level: | Expert |
| As a high-level official in my country’s government, I have been aware of the legal responsibilities of my position. I understand the significant legal responsibility that implies being a member of the World Board, and I know that I can fulfil it in a responsible and dedicated manner, as I did when I was chairperson of my MO. I am able to confidently lead discussions at the World Board and or Board Committee and provide guidance in this area. | ||
Understanding of, and ability to articulate the WAGGGS mission, leadership model, and educational approach. | Skill Level: | Contributor |
| I am very familiar with WAGGGS’s mission, as it was a key influence when developing my MO’s strategic plan for 2023-2028, a process that I led as a chairperson. As part of a decision-making team, I contributed to promote the integration of the leadership model and advocacy into our adult training programme, and accomplished that our MO is currently working to introduce these topics into the programme offer. As leader of the Movement I can share this experience and good practices. | ||
A thorough understanding of WAGGGS, including the complex and diverse regional contexts and the varied structures of Member Organisations. | Skill Level: | Contributor |
| I have participated in three WoCos and also had the opportunity to have participated in two international experiences with participants from the five regions, where I could learn about differences and similarities: a seminar about membership and funds in Nuestra Cabaña and a training about diversity in Denmark, becoming familiar with the very different cultural and developmental contexts, although MOs sometimes face similar challenges. The internal structures of MOs vary greatly, like being SAGNO or not SAGNO. | ||
Awareness of the challenges and opportunities facing girls and young women worldwide. | Skill Level: | Contributor |
| In today’s unstable geopolitical context, the rights of girls and women are particularly vulnerable. That is why, it is so exciting to be able to offer girls and young women a programme that inspires and supports them to reach their full potential, empowering them in safe, courageous and trusting spaces where they can freely express their opinions, and take responsibility for themselves and their environment in an inclusive and transparent way. | ||
Sound independent judgment and the ability to constructively challenge. | Skill Level: | Expert |
| As a female scientist, I have found that questioning has been my secret to success in contributing to my field of work, while opening pathways for women’s participation in traditionally male- dominated fields. Inquiring enables us to progress and avoid stagnation, to build a better world. As a World Board member, I will promote analysis and discussion as a team in a decision-making level to give guidance to improve all processes at WAGGGS. | ||
