The Group Leader Role
u3a Groups vary considerably. The topics range from Architecture to Weaving and the activities range from playing Mah Jong through to Spanish Conversation and Country Walking. The size of the Groups varies from 5 members to over 50. What it takes for a group to run varies to match the group, but in common is that each group is run by members for members in line with the u3a’s self-help and mutual aid principles.
The Group Leader role is to facilitate a group’s meetings and membership, being aware of the u3a’s policy and procedures.
The role can be undertaken by one individual or organised and shared between members of the group as the group decides. Indeed we would recommend that the activities of the Group Leader be shared in some way. A Group can have more than one person registered on Beacon as Group Leader and all will receive GL email and be able to update Group information.
