For Up To Now (FUN) National Formation Manual

The National Formation Manual, For Up to Now (FUN), as presented to the Regional Formation Directors in May, 2011, is available by clicking the icon below. This Manual is NOT convertable from .pdf to WORD format because it has been “password protected” by its authors. As a result, changes have been made which cannot, at the present time, be integrated into the Manual, but are included as separate icons for you to access.

Immediately following the Manual and the revisions are the additional resources provided by NAFRA. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please contact our Regional Formation Director.

Your patience with this process is very much appreciated.
