The primary purpose is to prepare the Region or Zone Chair with the tools and information they need to be successful. A key part of the training must be a detailed definition of their duties. A copy of the Region and/or Zone Chair Job Description should have been given to each individual at the time they agreed to accept the position. This training opportunity is to assure that each item is understood and to allow the Region and Zone Chairs an opportunity to discuss their duties as a team. The District Governor should present this the duties component or at least be present to answer questions and add definition where needed. In addition the Region and Zone Chairs should be prepared with other leadership tools to help them conduct worthwhile Zone Meetings and successfully work with and motivate the club leaders in their region and/or Zone.
