Reflection on goals and last week's class

My biggest takeaway from last weeks class is that it doesn't require a perfect person to be a leader. I need to accept that I will make mistakes and that not everything will go according to plan. I also learned that although there is a lot I want to change within my chapter, I need to focus this year on only a few of those goals. Even though I wish some of these things could change over night, I know many of the changes I want to implement will take a lot of time to follow through. Based on the seven C's we discussed in class, I realized that my main priority for the executive board is commitment. Something we struggle with as a chapter is showing up to events and getting everyone involved in the activities that we do. So I think that it is extremely important for the executive board to stay cohesive in the goals that we make and also attend all of the events to be a role model for the rest of the chapter. The main takeaway that I want to take from the chapter president's class is how to effectively make changes within my chapter, as well as being able to convince others to accept and follow the changes that are being made.Our chapter has never been very accepting and open to change, so I want to find a way to implement change without causing conflict or chaos within the chapter as a whole or with one another.
