Yesterday I had a conversation with a co-worker at lunch about titles. We felt that we should have a discussion about them as neither of our titles at work fully encompass what we our roles are at the theatre. Despite not being that keen on titles I have decided that the day's awesomism is being dedicated to them.
In the evening I attended a board meeting for an organization that I have just recently become the Vice-President of. I took on the role because I feel like I could handle the responsibilities and I also wanted to be able to help the new President as much as possible. What I was not expecting was the feeling I got when I looked at the Board slate and read "Alison Chisholm, Vice-President". Seeing those words after my name freaked me out a lot, but also made me feel really good about taking on the challenge. If five years ago someone would have told me that I would be a VP of a board at this time, I would have said they were crazy. Thankfully a lot of time has passed and experiences have given me the confidence to take on the title. After all - it's just a title . . . right?
what does a VP do anyways? The Vice of the President? Sounds like a strong and powerful title, that's for sure!
