This is the candidate’s answer to the following question (reprinted from Al Hood: Questions & Answers): Describe your governance or leadership philosophy, skills, and experience. Provide an example of a situation where you applied your philosophy to address a challenge, and the result.
My leadership philosophy is to gain consensus on an issue, and then respond quickly. I am able to gain consensus and ultimately make a decision by keeping discussions focused on the issues at hand. I will bring that knowledge and experience to the Board.
I have used my leadership philosophy and skills to resolve many issues. One such example was with a member who believed they had been wronged by the chapter. I had discussions with all involved and was able to discern the root cause. Once the cause was determined, I was able to help with resolution.
I have a strong belief in the mission of STC. Since joining STC and the Atlanta Chapter I have held many positions on the Atlanta Chapter Admin Council. These positions have afforded me untold experience and knowledge, which have allowed me to help further the mission of the Atlanta Chapter and the Society.
In 2008, I became assistant chair of the LCR and the chair in June 2009. I served on the zero-based budget review committee for the Society and as a result, gained knowledge and experience regarding the interworking of chapters, how they go about achieving their goals, and how the LCR can assist them.
As LCR chair, I have encountered misunderstandings about the responsibilities of the LCR and how we help communities. Communication and interaction with the communities are key to making the LCR and the Society successful.
