American Red Cross Club - Chair Application

NOTE: THIS FORM IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN WORD DOCUMENT (.DOC) FORMAT, HERE, FOR E-MAIL SUBMISSION TO "PETERGL@KSU.EDU". IT IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN ADOBE ACROBAT READER (.PDF) FORMAT, HERE, FOR PHYSICAL SUBMISSION TO THE LOCAL RED CROSS CHAPTER OF THE FLINT HILLS AT 2601 ANDERSON AVE, HERE IN MANHATTAN (BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 9AM-5PM).

This is the application for a Chair of committee position in the American Red Cross Club. Read all of the following notes before continuing the application on the next page.

Remember: being an A.R.C.C. leader is a very educational & rewarding experience and only adds to the already-impressive place an A.R.C.C. membership holds on future applications and resumes. Potential A.R.C.C. leaders should be very motivated individuals, with strong organizational abilities and a desire to lead.

Chair positions are typically assumed for one academic year (2 semesters) and early withdrawal from a Chair position is strongly discouraged.
Applications are open to all members of the American Red Cross Club, although, excepting special circumstances, priority will always be given to members whose regular participation and seniority exceeds others.
Officer positions require approximately four hours of work per week (including meetings with the Executive Committee, organizing group initiatives, etc.), depending on your committee and the time of year. Please consider this responsibility carefully!
You may list committees whose officer positions have already been taken. Your preference will be kept on file in the event that the position becomes open mid-semester.
If you are currently unable to attend the majority of our meeting times but still feel you are qualified for an A.R.C.C. Chair position, you may still apply.
You may also attach or include a resume of work experience, activities, honors, awards, etc.; please be sure to describe your role in or experience gained from each.

For the Fall '07 to Spring '08 semesters, the following committee Chair positions are open for application:

Blood Services Co-Chair
Health & Safety Co-Chair
Public Relations Co-Chair
Treasurer

Club Information & Committee Preference

Club meetings will occur, approximately, bi-monthly, usually on Monday evenings at 8:15pm and sometimes on Sunday evenings at varying times. Club Chairs are generally required to be present half-an-hour before the meeting. Will you be able to attend these days & times? (If not, or if in doubt, please explain.)

Please rank the positions you are applying for, in order of preference. ("1" should be your first choice, "5" your last.)
If you have no interest in a certain committee, do not list it at all.

For the final section of this application, please address the following three items in short-answer/essay format.

1.)Why is being an A.R.C.C. leader important to you?

2.)Explain the ways in which A.R.C.C. will benefit if you're elected Chair (i.e.: what skills, ideas, characteristics, etc., will you bring to the club?).

3.)Suppose the A.R.C.C. Executive Committee (President & all Chairs) will be graduating at the end of the Fall '07 semester, midway through your term as Chair. A new President and new Chairs will be elected but they will all be inexperienced leaders. How might you prepare for this transition? What problems do you think could arise and how might you address them? (This is a hard question. Be creative!)
