Balancing work and PTO

I am considering running for VP myself -- it would help next year, but are we saying that we need at least one at-home-parent to run the PTO?

I really want to step back and enjoy chairing a pet project or two instead of worrying about what everyone else is doing and where all the money is going.

(I should add that SHE is worried, not ME. I am not sure that's clear in my original post. I would let her take over today if she asked nicely.)

If you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down. <img src=images/smilies/smile.gif>

wow capedad I am so with you on this one, I am not sure what to tell you. If no one else wants to do it I would let her do it, if she can't handle the job then you can be there to pick it up or how about co-presidents. Although I can't say I have heard that work out very often. I am with you, I do more than I have to but like you I also have that time. Can committees make up some of her work load?

In the process of recruiting next year's officers, I have discovered that a highly qualified person is interested in being president but worried that she will neglect the group because she has a full-time job.

Being an at-home parent, I am able to spend a lot of time a school, and I do a lot more than a president should need to do. (I think I'm setting a bad example for future presidents lol.)

What I am looking for is some encouragement for my potential candidate and also some tips for staying in touch with the campus when you need to be at a job during most of the school day.

Help?
