Personal Statement: Becoming A Board Member

I believe I am the right person for this position because I will dedicate myself to this organization 100%. Throughout my entire life I have held the values of equality and acceptance of all individuals. Chairing as the Chapter Relations Director would benefit the

As an involved member of the Business and Finance Academy as well as DECA, I feel I would be a suitable choice for an Executive Board member. I believe that with my success with DECA and my previous experience with leadership in Girl Scouts that being a part of the Executive Board would not only benefit the group but also myself. I am excited to get more involved and anxious to start more community service and fundraising programs within both the Academy and DECA. Throughout these past two years I have grown more comfortable with the students and faculty involved in these two organizations and have learned from them. I have many ideas about community service since I have many connections through Girl Scouts and also have ideas for

I desire to be an executive board member because I can make a difference in NHS. Organization is one of my strengths that I will bring to the NHS chapter. Another strength is I have experience with leader positions in other organizations. I am involved in a mother-daughter volunteer organization called NCL and am currently the VP of Philanthropy. This role’s job description is to help organize volunteer activities for our grade level and to help lead meetings. I think NHS is very well organized already with many volunteer opportunities that are awesome. My favorite event of NHS is the blood drive. Meetings are an area that I want to improve by having different members talk about diverse volunteer opportunities that they are doing. This will help others hear about different volunteer organizations and if people are having trouble finding volunteer organizations that they

My interest in becoming a pupil in the Leadership Academy stem from a brief assignment in Austin with Office of Social Services in Program Innovation with the Business Process Project Team in late 2014 thru mid-2015. It is then when I learned that there is much more to the agency then front line delivery services. In the front line delivery staff know what must be done as per policy, rules and regulations which are communicated to them via trainings, emails and staff meetings, but staff really have no idea of what all has to happen prior to those policies, rules and regulations being established. I would appreciate an opportunity to participate in the Leadership Academy and study under individuals with the expertise in program innovation and management communication as this is where I believe I could provide the most insight as per my recent experiences and tenure

I am intimately familiar with the workings of the club, as I have been involved in a leadership role from nearly the first day. While the rest of my fellow officers are seniors and will graduate this June, I hope to carry on in a leadership role and ensure the club we have worked so hard to establish will continue to flourish. Through my experiences this year, I know specifically which aspects of the club are running smoothly and which need more work; I know which of our efforts were successful, and which missed the mark. I hope to bring my knowledge to the NHS leadership team in my senior year so that the State High chapter will have a bright and stable future. Furthermore, I possess the qualities necessary to be a strong leader. In addition to my organizational abilities, I can communicate effectively and appropriately with both my peers and my teachers. I am dedicated to my work, and independently motivated to achieve success. I am an excellent team player, having had significant practice this year both leading a team as an officer and working within a team and delegating tasks as head of the Bunny Hop 5k advertising committee. Given the opportunity, I would enthusiastically utilize and continue to develop all of these skills as president of the State High

I am very passionate about the major, and I believe it will transfer into my work on the executive board. I want to be able to incorporate new ideas into the club. I am a hard worker and will do whatever is necessary to make sure my duties are fulfilled.

I am interested in becoming a member of FLOC because I know I have the potential to succeed as a leader at University of Texas at Arlington. My skills as a speaker and a guide make leadership something I can utilize to inspire those who follow me.

Thank you so much for this prestigious nomination. It is such an honor to be standing before you as a candidate for a position that I have so much admired since I first became a sister during my freshman year. I believe that I would be able to serve as an excellent Vice President of Standards Board because I am patient, just, and kind. Although I am far from perfect, I believe that during my time in Theta Phi Alpha I have been able to form of clear perception of the importance of our values and how they should be incorporated into every aspect of our lives, from how we conduct ourselves when we our out with friends, to how we speak to each other in the privacy of our chapter meetings. I believe that I have the strength to defend our values

I am interested in holding an executive board position because I’ve always been passionate about healthcare and having a role in ensuring that people that look like me (minorities) are represented in healthcare fields. I believe that MAPS is doing a great job providing underrepresented pre-health students with knowledge, skills and experiences that are both prerequisite to and concomitant to professional participation in health care fields, therefore I would like to be apart of continuing such greatness. I know that I can contribute more to the organization by becoming a leader in it. Like most pre-med students I am organized, dependable, and committed. However, what sets me apart

I am Elizabeth Fleenor and the reason that I want to go to the Oregon Association of Student Councils conference is because I think it can really benefit my leadership skills and it will be really fun to go on a trip with my classmates. Leaders need to have the ability to inspire and be confident about it and I think I can improve my inspirational confidence skills. A leader needs to have the ability to inspire, find confidence, be responsible, and trust themselves as well as their peers and going to the OASC conference will befit me with these skill set. I want to help with the betterment of my school; RPA and my community of Redmond and in the future the world. Going to this conference I hope will help teach me the life skills that I

You know that time when your parents start making you pay for your own stuff? Well, I have reached that time, and so what do I do? The obvious answer is to get a job. So I walked over to the outlets across from my house, and started asking for job applications. After all the application and interview process, I landed with a job at G.H. Bass & Co, a retail store that’s devoted to selling shoes. I become a sale associate, but it wasn’t until after I fully explored and learned about the logos, pathos, and ethos, did I entirely immerse myself into the discourse community.

I am a member of leadership organizations like Aim for Excellence and Pirates for Peers. Through Pirates and Peers, I have gained the mentoring role of big sister to a girl at Meadowlawn through Big Brother Big Sisters. Through Aim for Excellence, I have helped improve our community and helped others. I have gained leadership experience through playing Varsity sports such as soccer, cheerleading, and track along with dancing competitively. Through this, I have learned how to take charge but also listen to teammates concerns and feelings. I also have the privilege of being a member of National Honor Society. One of the pillars of NHS is Leadership and we accomplish this through community outreach and helping students through programs like tutoring. I also have helped lead younger pirates through soccer camp, bitty cheer clinic, and dance student

I am interested in serving on the Roadrunner Productions Executive Board because I would like to further improve my delegating skills. Things I can contribute to Roadrunner Productions include a flexible schedule where I can meet the organization's needs, my positive attitude, and determination. I hope to gain decision making skills, better communication skills, and the ability to become more assertive. Some leadership experience I have obtained includes working in multiple different teams thru different environments.

For consideration to be on board one needs to have a specific set of skills and resources relating to whatever organization they are wanting to be with. Adding on, to be with American Red Cross you can see off their board of directors now that they have been in previous organizations, retired, or have donated. Also, board or directors must understand what they are joining because it is a very important commitment. Selecting the right board members is a necessity because they are the own and run the organization ensuring fiscal financial viability. Likewise, having a diverse set of board directors is a must because they constantly must come up with innovative ways to raise money, fundraisers, and interest people in supporting the organization, and it can be easier to brainstorm new ideas when there is a 360-degree perspective. It can be nice having likeminded people, so meetings and decisions are quickly made, but better ideas will arise and be made when people have conflict of interest and show others a new perspective. As well as diversity acquiring someone that either helps with the organization or contributes in someone is a better candidate to be on board. The American Red Cross takes a lot of this into consideration when picking board members when the time comes, and to make sure the organization is always on way to achieve its

Jennings (2018), stated that BoardSource (2018), implies that if the right people are not on the board's team, it would be challenging for the board to have effective leadership. When selecting members to serves on the board, you want individuals who embrace and are committed to the organization's mission, people who are highly respected in their community and can strengthen the organization because of the expertise and professional experiences. The areas of knowledge, skills, and experience that the board members of Raleigh Rescue Mission need to have are: (a) have leadership skills (b) have professional experiences in legal matters,(c) have experiences in fundraising and (d) have skills in financial management. These areas are important because effective leaders are the heart of an organization success (BoardSource,2010) and guide and direct each other. A board having a member who is an attorney is knowledge about the law, the board is expected to be aware of and responsible for complying with new laws and
