I just received my confirmation as committee vice-chair for IPBA. I am entering unchartered territory here. I try to avoid leadership roles because to stay on the sidelines is safe, easy, and stress-free. I always joke about being a perpetual member of the "suggestion committee," where all I do is provide suggestions and let the powers that be figure out how to execute them. Actually, this appointment came about because I commented that the committee chair's "invitation to nominate" email did not contain any attachments about the vice-chair's responsibilities. Me and my OC-ness and inability to shut up! The chair must have thought, "If this person gives a shit about email attachments, then she surely gives a shit about the organization."
So here I am, accepting a two-year term to not only participate, but to exert my "best efforts" to carry out my duties and responsibilities. I'm scared and excited at the same time. My goal is to just enjoy the ride, but it would also be nice to meet some wonderful people along the way and make a difference in my profession.
