As if I have not been busy enough, this summer I was inspired to run for a board position on the newly revamped board of the University of Chicago Hong Kong Alumni Club. I ran for program co-chair, figuring that the programs and events are at the heart of any alumni organization, and that planning those events would be the most fun.
Last Friday I went to the first board meeting, held over dinner at the restaurant (creatively named The Square) in Exchange Square. I met alums both new and old, mostly from the college. I am the only law school alum on the board. There is only one business school alum on the board.
I forgot how much I enjoy sitting in positions of leadership and even though I had never met these people previously I was really happy to sit down for a few hours over dinner and brainstorm ideas and talk about strategy, direction and programming.
Now if only I could get so excited about wedding planning… the thought of planning a huge party from overseas is more than enough to incite a massive case of procrastination.
