Registrar training day
Every Bahá’í event requires a registrar who plays the essential role of managing the bookings and serving as the main point of contact for those attending. Many events are related to Five Year Plan activities so it is vital that a growing number of people can be called upon to serve as registrars which will allow institutions to organise events to meet the needs of the plan.
The National Spiritual Assembly’s Events and Logistics committee provides training and tools to support friends serving as registrars. To meet this need, a training day will be held on 28 March 2020 at the Bahá’í Training Centre in Arncott, Oxfordshire. If you would like to serve as a registrar and are able to attend please contact the Events and Logistics Committee at events@bahai.org.uk to find out more. Even if you are not able to attend this training day but would still like to be trained as a registrar then this can be arranged, so please contact the committee.
The committee very much hopes that the number of trained registrars can support the future plans of the institutions and looks forward to meeting friends who are willing to be trained and serve as registrars.
