YRO Outreach Seminar • No Seminar to be held in 2009 • Interest shown by Spain, Switzerland for 2010 • Aims for 2010 • 20 to 25 participants • 6 returning YROs to staff • Host nation to source and provide accommodation, food and local logistics • Participating nations to provide transport to/from, and promote Seminar at home

  6. YROW 2009 • Programme agreed by committee • Facilitated policy development over three days • Output to be presented to Symposium break-out groups to kick-off and stimulate discussion • Facilitators to collate findings and submit conclusions to YRO Chair within one month of YROW end – ensure good quality product. • Advantages • Clear integration with main CIOR agenda • Raising profile of junior officer input • Challenging junior officers to not only think but brief and drive forward debate amongst senior officers • Broaden the exposure to all symposium themes • Challenges • Increase time requirement – mitigated by use of facilitators • Identifying suitable candidates for facilitator roles (x 4) • Identification of suitable speakers, not necessarily military focussed

  7. YRO in Development • Clear identification of positive output to YRO in CIOR through proposition paper • Identify scope for YRO development through CIOR • YRO “Platform” • Re-structure of YROW programme • Welcome pack • Recruit and retain future CIOR committee members

  8. YRO “Platform” • Has been informally proposed to YRO Committee by various nations • A brand new concept • To provide continuing professional development for YROs who have attended YROW on at least two occasions • Designed to encourage longer CIOR participation • Retention positive • Develop YRO international inter-operability

  9. Challenges • Ensuring a continuing relationship between individual YROs, their national delegations and CIOR • Ensuring broad and timely distribution of committee communications within national reserve armed forces • Effective forward planning for hosting future Outreach Seminars and Platform events • Enhancing YRO participation in core CIOR events and discussions • Promote the benefit of CIOR as a career enhancing experience • Positively communicating to national chain of commands the clear influence that YRO events can have on developing operationally capable future leaders

  10. Costs Analysis • Outreach Seminar 2010 • Host nation to bear accommodation, food and local logistics • Participating nations to fund travel to/from Seminar location • Seminar fee to be kept to a minimum but, intended to cover majority of host nation costs. • YROW 2009 • Bulgaria to include YROW costs within overall programme budget • All YROW activities, as referenced in SOP, to be borne by the YROW registration fee. • YRO Platform • Host nation to bear costs for accommodation, food and local logistics • Registration fee to be kept to a minimum but, should cover a majority of host nation costs (TBC)

  11. YRO Needs You!! • Encourage your junior officers to participate in any of the YRO events • Council to approve further development of YRO “Platform” initiative • Positive support to YROW integration into CIOR Symposium • VPs requested to complete YRO questionnaire prior to Summer Congress • Offers of host nations for Outreach Seminar or “Platform” greatly appreciated
