Creating The Future : Board Meeting Observation

So far, I have altered how meetings are conducted from last year so that the student administration has more control of communicating ideas to the members. Later in the year, I plan to incorporate additional volunteer opportunities and I want to have more group conversations with the members to hear their ideas and try to merge those ideas into positive changes that can be made. This leadership opportunity is starkly different from that of coordinating a 5k. Being the president of NHS has given me additional exposure to public speaking skills, decision making skills, proper ways to conduct meetings, and ways to present myself professionally. Despite their differences, these leadership opportunities have helped me advance myself in my journey to accomplish my goals. The skills I gained and refined from these opportunities will undoubtedly assist me when trying to procure grants, build connections, and become a research team leader.

My Northern State University (NSU) American Indian academic advisor, Lara Nelson has inspired me and encouraged me for the two years of my collegiate career to be extremely involved and active in leadership roles. She is the leader of the Native American Student Association at NSU as well, and has encouraged me to be an active participant in the association and consequently, I was elected as the treasurer of the association in September 2016 and I also serve as student advisor on the NSU American Indian Advisory Committee which serves under the direction of the university’s Provost. In these positions, it is necessary for me to communicate and organize so that we can fulfill the organizations goals. We have been instrumental in helping shape

11. Empowerment-oriented organizations act to increase political power, as well as political influence of program beneficiaries of their own. 12. Empowerment-oriented organizations acknowledge the limitations of participatory management approaches and take proactive measures to balance inclusion in decision-making with tasks associated with organizational maintenance (Lewis, Lewis, & Packard, 2012). These principles would be used in my dream organization Children of our Future. The agencies Children of our Future work with children who have been abused, neglected, or have some type of disability. The first principle states that empowerment oriented structures support client's participation in organization decision-making process. I would provide a safe, warm, and comfortable environment in my dream agency which works with children. Parents and children will help make important decisions and provide feedback on their goals and plans. We give children the opportunity to draw pictures of what they want, and how they feel about the processes they will be participating in. We give children the opportunity to draw because of their age, and some are shy and would rather draw a picture. When it comes to making decisions about their children parents or guardians will be fully involved. The best resources and services for clients will be provided by my agency. Our agency works closely with consumers and outside agencies clients, members, and staff are all treated equally with
