Don't you love a good puzzle? I know I do. Okay, I haven't put one together since middle school, when we were putting together a picture of the world made up of thousands of tiny pictures, but still it's exciting. When you find that middle piece that looks like every other piece, only every other piece was just slightly off, that final piece is the holy grail.
That's how I feel right now at this moment. The chapter I advise for has an Advisory Board of four super qualified, out-spoken, die hard DPhiE's. This seems really awesome, until all of four of us are responding to your emails, giving you very similar advice, and asking you to be accountable to all of us at the same time.
Luckily, for this chapter and the advisors' own sanity, we are blessed with the leadership of our International Headquarters. These incredibly brilliant and talented women have developed a system for Chapter Advisory Boards that divide and support each officer in the Leadership Team. We are moving towards a CAB model, assigning two LT members to one advisor. We haven't discussed the transition with the entire LT, but we did float the idea to a few of them on Sunday and they couldn't have been more on board for a fair and equal division of our time and efforts.
The past few days, my fellow advisors have already been taking on responsibilities they will have starting next semester, and really proving to me that this transition is for the best.
All of the pieces are starting to fit. I can't wait to see the wonderful things this group will accomplish.
