The outgoing members of the NSTP Council of The College of Maasin successfully facilitated an Orientation and Capacity Building and Leadership Development for the newly appointed NSTP Council members. The program ensures a smooth leadership transition by equipping the incoming officers with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to carry out their responsibilities effectively. Rycille Tingcoy, NSTP General President, spearheads the activities and hosted the program.

The activity featured one-on-one leadership coaching, action planning, experience-sharing, and team-building sessions designed to strengthen collaboration, commitment, and servant leadership among the new members of the NSTP Council.

NSTP Instructor and Assistant NSTP Council adviser Maria Carmela Gono welcomed the participants with a message. To conclude the initiative, Dr. Gemar B. Mori, the NSTP Director and Council adviser, challenged the incoming NSTP General Officers to do more and be better so CM can continue soaring higher for the greater good.

As a new chapter begins, the facilitators remind the newly elected General Officers to lead with integrity, inspire through service, and remain committed to making a meaningful impact in the school and the community.
