Study Group Leaders

Study Group Leaders are in charge of independent NYHFA chapters but have not yet reached sufficient rank to run an independent branch under their own authority or under the supervision of a senior instructor (see NYHFA Rank Structure). As such, their chapters are study groups and are led by study group leaders rather than head instructors.  Study group leaders are often far from NYHFA branches and have to work on their own to implement the NYHFA curriculum and maintain organization standards.
