I got a great question today about adding the LT1R activity code to leader records after they attend a training session. In Adair county, they recorded those training sessions last year as well, so Donna's question was whether she should use LT3 this year, since the leaders already had LT1R from LAST year.

You're going to use LT1R and LT2R every year for the first two training sessions that your leaders attend--and it's based on the first one that the individual attends, not the first one you offer. So one person may have LT1R for a September event, and another might have LT1R for a November event. The only thing that changes on the activity tab is that you'd record a different year... for instance, the trainings that occur this fall would have an activity year of 2008 (which is how we name the 4-H year, by the year in which the stat report will be submitted).

The person in question would have LT1R and LT2R linked to the 2007 activity year (last year) and now would have an additional LT1R linked to this year (2008), for a total of 3 activities listed on that tab.

Don't forget that you also must complete a Training Log entry (under the ES237 menu) for each of those leader trainings that you hold in your county. For more information about the process for recording Leader Training, go to the BR HelpSheets page and you'll find one under the "Working with Records" section entitled "Recording Volunteer Leader Training".
