Post 2: Ice Breaker to HPL: Start With the End in Mind.

For some people (me) it made sense to start with Level 1 and work my way to Level 5 in the same path - until I opened Level 5 and saw I had to spend six months leading in my volunteer organization and complete various tasks. Now I look at Level 5 and plan backwards.

This past year I served as a Club President and  as an Area Director; two leadership roles that meet the Level 5 Leading in Your Volunteer Organization project. I was completing the requirement for a path I had in 2020 but didn't know I had to do it because I started at Level 1. This year I plan to do the same project, it is mandatory for a few - I didn't know that until recently either along with Leadership Development.

I will be the VPM of one of my three clubs; I will complete Leadership Development as I organize an open house during the Smedley Award membership drive in August and September. The mandatory Level 5 project is Manage Successful Events. Level 5 will now guide my planning through the rest of the path.

 How will Level 4 projects connect to the open house? Tune in on Wednesday to find out.
