The Guide is available on-line as an e-document, at: www. Homenetmen.net The Homenetmen Leader’s Guide was Developed on the Occasion of the 100th Anniversary of HOMENETMEN As a Tribute to its Remarkable Contribution to Armenian Society, In the Hopes of Educating Future Generations of Leaders to Carry on the Torch. SY 2 PREFACE Homenetmen has bylaws, rules and regulations, but no formal leadership development program. Governing bodies also do not have a comprehensive orientation guide for new board members. Hence this guidebook. This Guide is primarily written for the leadership of Western USA Region. However, the entire Homenetmen family with all of its Regions and Chapters could use this guidebook, with minor adjustments of region specific information. WHY Do We Need to HAVE a GUIDE for LEADERS? Every nonprofit organization needs a board development process. Homenetmen has to give tools to those leaders who are expected to lead our youth, to better explain to them their role and responsibilities, educate them about their position and functions and help improve their performance. Quality leaders are better mentors. This Guide may be utilized for two purposes: 1. As a reference handbook, adopted by any Homenetmen leader, or 2.

    MA Thesis in International Affairs Europeanization of LGBT Rights in Montenegro Stefan Jovic February 2020 Europeanization of LGBT Rights in Montenegro Stefan Jovic Final thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of a MA degree in International Affairs Instructor: Baldur Þórhallsson Faculty of Political Science School of Social Sciences, University of Iceland February 2020 3 Europeanization of LGBT Rights in Montenegro This final thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of a MA degree in International Affairs. The thesis may not be copied in any form without the author’s permission. © Stefan Jovic, 2020 ID number: 2703943619 Reykjavik, Iceland, 2020 4 Abstract The goal of this thesis is to shed light on the process of top-down Europeanization imposed on EU candidate states. As the current candidate state for EU membership, Montenegro has most of its negotiation chapters opened, and is generally praised by the EU for the efforts taken in order to satisfy the accession criteria. However, adoption of certain policies, such as pro-LGBT policies seems to be entirely done in order to meet the criteria for EU membership, as the experiences of local activists, opinion of local politicians and the homophobic views of the local population do not match the progressive views of the policies introduced. By analysing the implementation of those changes, we see pure Europeanization at work. This way of implementing changes can have a positive effect on the LGBT community in Montenegro, as it provides a shelter for a part of the population that would not have the same rights without the Europeanization of such laws. However, adopting policies that significantly shape the society solely due to EU membership may reveal trust issues between the public and the government, and reveal that EU values are more important than the Montenegrin ones.
