Nate,
Corporate Secretary… sounds serious… and grownup-y…
***
Yesterday,
I was on a meeting with the Board. The “outgoing” Chairman called an emergency
meeting. Apparently, there were pressing issues that needs to be discussed.
After discussion of the issues, the Chairman expressed his gratitude in working
with us, members of the Board, and said that even if it has been a roller coaster
ride for everyone, he enjoyed the ride.
The
elections will happen in about a week’s time, and the Chairman expressed his
concerns. I was stunned at his revelation. He apologized to the next in line
for Vice Chairmanship, and said that he hopes it wouldn’t offend him, that he
prefers me to be Vice Chairman.
Nate,
Vice Chairman… sounds scary…
Members
of the board seem to approve of it, and the next in line for Vice Chairmanship
gave me a nod. Even if the voice of the outgoing Chairman has power, may elections
pa naman… Honestly speaking, I am hesitant in accepting the post, if ever.
I
contacted the partner, and informed him about my whereabouts. I asked him if I should
give it a go or not.
The
partner wanted me to grab the opportunity, and show the Board how good I am.
“Yi, I’m so proud of
you!!!”
Hearing
that gave me more than enough morale boosts; even made me want to rule the world.
:P
Deep inside, though, I’m
worried.
The
Chairman is 65 years old. The supposed next in line for Vice Chairmanship is in
his late forties. I’m twenty six. They say, with age comes experience. I feel
that I’m inexperienced and to be handling a post prematurely, could make or
break me. And if I would take the post, it would mean that a part of my time
will be spent with the Organization.
I told
the partner that I would rather choose to keep the Corporate Secretary post and
him than take on a higher post and lose him in the process.
I already
have too much on plate, and I wouldn’t want to reach the point where I’d have to
give up one and choose the other.
What
if events/ activities will coincide with our planned dates? What if our spur–of–the–moment
activities would conflict with the emergency meetings?
But
the partner is supportive, and assured me that he won’t go anywhere, and just
be there.
“That’s fine with
me. I’ve basically got by on my own. It will be easypeasy for me. :)”

future holds.

you! :*
Cause you bring out the best in me
Like no one else can do
That’s why I’m by your side
That’s why I love you…
