Leadership in the UUG can be fun. I've had an overall great time doing it for several years. To have a great club, there needs to be great leadership. If you have ever thought to yourself "gee, I wish they would do this better" or "why is the UUG not doing that?", now is the time to take action nominate yourself to a position or nominate someone else you think will do a great job and get the job done. Freshman, you have lots of energy, become a club officer! Oh, and by nominating good leaders who may get elected, you are doing your part to bring down the McNabb Dynasty! > The club has a great history of providing opportunities to learn on your > own, meet employers, and have a darn good time. Stuart, who presented > at our last meeting, often will point out that his two major jobs that > he has had were both due to contacts formed in the UUG. I've had someone contact me as well. Although I stayed in school rather than looking into it. Networking is the best way to get your name out there and hear about good jobs (on and off campus). UUG can be a great place for this. > Being in the leadership of the UUG gives you an opportunity to pad your > resume! Right, so if running for those BYUSA leadership positions didn't work out for you, go for a leadership position in the UUG! Less meetings and less hate mail guaranteed! And you don't have to stand in the middle of campus and beg people you don't know to vote for you. Everyone already knows you! > And best of all, it's fun.

Plus between everyone, tasks can be divided between officers. And there are no required BYUSA meetings to go to like many years ago. :) Now is the time for someone to boldly take the club where it's never gone before. - Jake -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
