26. Consider serving on Board of Directors
Article IV, Section 1, paragraph “a” says, in part, “General management of the Club’s affairs are entrusted to the board.” This means board members do any and all work not done by someone else.
IF YOU DON’T WANT TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY, WEAR GLOVES.
BOARD MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL CLUB EVENTS.
LEADERSHIP MEANS RESPONSIBILITY, NOT PRIVILEGE

27. Ask not what your club can do for you, ask what you can do for your club
