This does seem to be the answer in areas where it works well.  What's 
more, I am sure two or three of these folks would be qualified to step in 
if she had to resign, and they would already have a staff in place.  The 
next step would be to train the replacement's replacement and all could 
continue on.  It is always good to have a few "in training" folks too, to 
provide staff when some staff member needs to step back for a while. At 
least, that is the almost impossible to reach goal.

For help getting these folks trained in the first place, contact Star. I 
know this training exists because I use to do the voice training for the 
kingdom.

Even given all this though, local herald is a tough job.
