cellioI was chosen for the nominating committee (to choose board members) for my synagogue tonight, for the second year in a row. I'm pleasantly surprised. (I didn't think repeats would be seriously considered, though I knew I had been nominated and they didn't eliminate me then.)
The committee consists of three board members, three non-board congregants, and a few direct appointments. Last year I was chosen as a board member; this year I was chosen as a congregant. To complete the trifecta, next year I need to be directly appointed by someone. :-) (Nah. Not gonna happen.)
I seem to have a reputation there as thoughtful, analytical, and all those other good things you want in leaders. Nifty. It's so easy to go into a new organization and screw up by not knowing the history, politics, and unwritten rules. This time around that didn't happen to me.
