Transferring of Volunteers - Brigade to Brigade

Published in Brigade transfer by deman | Comment (3)

I am pleased to advise that volunteer members can now transfer from one brigade to another and still remain a member of CFA, without the need to show they've resigned on CFA's data system.

Previously our CFA Resource Management System (RMS) database was modelled in a way that made it necessary to record that a member had resigned if moving from one brigade to another.
