What an amazing opportunity you have. As an advocate for our youth & young adults in the American Red Cross, I am so thrilled to hear of your new position as Board Chair. Congratulations! Your Chapter clearly has a great deal of confidence in you, and you have a great opportunity not only for your own experience, but to be an example for our youth volunteers. I look forward to hearing more about your experiences over the course of this year!

I am taking a class in nonprofit management, and I was hoping if you can help me by answering a few questions about your position.

These are the questions:

1. How long have you been a board member for this organization?
2. Why do you think you were selected to become a board member?
3. Why did you agree to become a board member?
4. What position do you hold?
5. How many members are on the board? How many members are in the organization?
6. How long do your board meetings generally last?
7. What do you think is your greatest responsibility to this organization?

A young person myself, and current AHSA President at Arizona State University, I commend you. I think the very fact that you understand your inexperience makes you ready for this position. Be strong, and rely on those who have paved the way for you to lead with such courage. Press on, and I look forward to updates!

Cheers,
Sam

Jessica, the National Association of Parliamentarians might be of some help. See:
