Officer Responsibilities 

As you begin to look at the various responsibilities of different positions, we encourage you to devote time and thought to which role seems right for you. We want you to really take these questions to heart and attempt to answer each one.  They are purely a guide but the reflection will prove helpful throughout the rest of the process.  Ask yourself these questions:

1. What positions have I enjoyed in the past? 

2. What am I passionate about? 

3. How do I manage responsibility? 

4. What impact do I want to leave on BBYO Central Region West? 

5. What position will allow me to make those changes?

The following responsibilities apply to ALL MEMBERS of the 72nd Regional Board:

• Be part of a 17-person team, including all other board members and regional staff. This means publicly supporting group decisions, furthering the collective mission of the region, and working towards expanding and interacting with our global BBYO movement. 

• Maintain close ties with counterparts

• Visit chapters all across the Bay

  • You will be expected to visit as many chapters as you can. This will require a commitment to pay for gas, or working out alternate ways to get there.
