Currently we need Leaders in these departments - you will be in charge of a team of people. Every leader reports to the planning committee at monthly meetings.
DO NOT VOLUNTEER FOR A LEADERSHIP ROLE
• if you are not committed to the time, effort, and money it takes to execute it right.
• if you just want to do it for power, control, or clout. If you prove to be a narcissistic or entitled ego driven person, you will be removed from your position.
VOLUNTEER TO BE ON A TEAM if you want to help but don't want to be in charge (it's okay we still need you), and the team leader can adjust the intensity of your involvement based on your needs and what you have the capacity to do.
