F24 Leadership Opportunities
Are you interested in taking a more active role in the chapter without the commitment of an officer role? Interested in getting involved in a specific project or committee? Check out our Leadership Form to learn about more opportunities. We also have our Leadership Guide which helps outline the time requirements and responsibilities of these different leadership opportunities. These opportunities are great, lower-commitment ways to get more involved and lead an event or project that you are passionate about. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
All of these roles will count a a leadership credit, which is an integral part of achieving DA/PA status.
