Lead a Team, Not Just a Task.

Leadership roles are optional. Every intern contributes fully as a committee member, and no one is required to take on a leadership role. Interns who want more responsibility may volunteer for one of three roles on their committee.

Committee leaders work under the supervision of NVEEE staff and the Executive Director, who set each committee’s goals and priorities and approve its work.

Chair

  • Leads the committee’s work toward the goals and priorities set by NVEEE staff
  • Runs the weekly committee meeting and sets the agenda
  • Keeps assignments on track and helps members get the resources they need
  • Coordinates with other committees on shared projects
  • Reports committee progress to the Executive Director

Co-Chair

  • Supports the Chair and steps in when the Chair is absent
  • Helps set agendas and facilitate meetings
  • Assigns and monitors tasks in Asana
  • Reviews committee members’ work before it goes to staff for approval

Secretary

  • Takes minutes at every committee meeting and shares them within 24 hours
  • Files meeting notes in the committee’s Google Drive folder
  • Tracks attendance and task completion
  • Sends committee reminders about deadlines

How roles are selected

Committee roles are chosen during the first week of the term. Interns volunteer at their first committee meeting, and if more than one person is interested in a role, the committee holds an election. To be eligible, an intern must be present from the beginning of the term.

What Leaders Gain

  • Experience running meetings, setting agendas and delegating work
  • Experience reporting progress to the Executive Director and NVEEE staff
  • Your leadership title listed on your certificate of completion
  • Eligibility for the Leadership in Service Award, presented each term
  • Practice reviewing peers’ work and giving constructive feedback
  • Concrete examples of leadership to discuss in job and graduate school interviews

More Ways to Lead
