A Link Crew Commissioner is a Link Crew Leader who is has decided to take the extra step. Commissioners will work closely with the Coordinators (Bellmer, Burch, and Reeve) to ensure that the details of the program are working effectively. You would help with things like preparing mail for the middle schoolers, visiting the middle schools at the end of your term, coordinating logistics of Orientation, reporting to Student Government and/or Administration, being a source of inspiration and support for your fellow Link Crew Leaders, and being Ms. Bellmer's right hand. Link Crew Commissioners exemplify what it means to be a leader, and they set the best example for what it means to be a Lakeside Panther.
