8. PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Finding an Age-appropriate Role
“[T]he biggest challenge I faced with my chairman was letting him do more of the work and not doing it for them. The chairman then either expects that in the future, or becomes apathetic because they have no reason to be proud of being a chairman and no longer wants to do the job. Obviously neither
result is good for the
chairman and committee.”

9. PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Making your interest in serving as an adviser known
“I did not want to stop being a youth leader. I had a long talk with my lodge adviser just after my 21st birthday. He let me know what my new expectations and boundaries were. He wanted me to stick around as a valuable resource for the lodge officers that came right after me.”

10. PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Balancing adult responsibilities
“At this point I am focusing on other parts of my life and have stepped out of involvement with my home lodge.
