Steered the business of the association through the "Board meetings". As the leader of the Board, made sure everyone on the board had a voice and functioned as a team. Assisted in assigning members to various committees. The purpose of the committees was to take one of the specific tasks of the board (such as developing personnel policies or establishing the budget) and focus on that alone. The recommendations from all the committees then come to the full board for final discussion and approval. I also took an active role in fundraising, representing the association branch at public functions and before public bodies, including funders. My duties also included the planning of the board's activities for the year ahead and plans for the association's future. I was ultimately responsible for ensuring an ongoing planning process existed for the branch.
