Skills:
When I was in high school, I sat on the Chemical Prevention Advisory Board (CPAC). CPAC is a community organization that seeks to educate the dangers of drug use/abuse. I was selected by the principal of my school to be a Student Ambassador. It was my duty to attend meetings once a month with law enforcement, parents and teachers, religious leaders, as well as other students. We spearheaded many initiatives such as “Red Ribbon Week,” “Parents Who Host Lose the Most,” and “Start Today.” While working with CPAC I learned the give and take of playing on a team. I feel my experience will carry over to the work place - particularly the library - especially when tackling many of the issues that face libraries today - budgeting cuts, fleeting patronage, exploding technology - many of the topics I explored earlier. No doubt, these issues will require the cooperation of many to address.
I was also selected to serve as an Asset Coordinator. My role as an Asset Coordinator was similar to my role as a Student Ambassador to CPAC. It was, however, much more hands on. Once a month I hosted a workshop called Leadership Asset Training (LAT) - a comprehensive program aimed at teaching youth how to deal with risky situations - depression, drug use/abuse, safe sex etc. More often than not CPAC worked in conjunction with LAT. For that reason, I was usually served as a liaison between the two - scheduling meetings, workshops, and appointments.
