I (Birdin’) served just one term as a member of the WGA Board. Life brought me some unexpected surprises near the end of my term and I wasn’t able to “go the distance” at that point, so chose not to return.
Those of you who are already serving as a member of the Board have proven you can go the distance and know what’s involved. This question is more for those who are seeking a term for the first time. Serving on the Board requires travel to events, at least three of them now…Spring Campout, Fall Picnic and the Chili Event. There is also the pancake breakfast at the Cache Bash and our booth there, plus various satellite events (sponsored CITOs and the like) throughout the year. With each of these events, there is work to be divvied up and done. There are other issues that require the effort of some of the Board. Sometimes as one working these events, you just have to set aside your own “playtime” and be present to represent the WGA. Basically, you have to set aside your own caching persona for the good of the organization.
Will you have the time, energy and commitment to accomplish all of these things?
