Tables and chairs...

   It's official. I'm the newly elected chair of the board. It seems kinda strange to me in some ways. When I was younger I was a very passive person. Although I remember having leadership qualities, I never felt comfortable acting on things on my own. Of course as I grew up, came out, and became a little activist I grew more comfortable with being my own person, and standing up for what I think. So now I'm in this position where people will be looking to me for leadership in many ways, and while I'm comfortable that I can perform it still seems a little odd.
   I started in this group as a volunteer - I got us online and now I do the website for the group. I was elected to the board a year later. Then I became Secretary. Last year I didn't have a position but was still on the board. I started this year as Vice Chair, and now I'm Chair.
   Looking back at the road that took me to where I am today, it all seems to make sense. I had no idea I was going to where I am, but I'm happy with it. I have a chance to make a difference in a world where I think everyone needs to participate in some way to make it better for everyone else. I guess my thought now is, where to next?
