Applications for VIP Board of Directors 2012!
Due Tuesday, October 18th, at 11:59pm
Submit to Vanietta Goine’s office, Illini Union room 285G (in the RSO
complex)

Terms for VIP Board of Directors are January to December (calendar year, not
school year), and that means we are looking for the next set of fearless
leaders!

Serving on the board of directors mean you lead one of the 16 VIP
projects--you are in charge or coordinating every event. If you love
volunteer/service, and would like to be more involved in planning such
events, this an AWESOME opportunity to gain a leadership role in an AWESOME
organization.

Also, I would like to stress that prior involvement in VIP is NOT required
for applying to BOD. We encourage anyone with a passion for service and
leadership skills to apply--regardless of how long or how extensively they
have been involved in VIP. When I applied, I had only volunteered with 2-3
times with VIP, and not actually with Special projects--and I have loved
being able to serve as Director of Special Projects for 2011.

If you have any questions about what being a director is all about, please
email me.
Please take a look at the application attached.
