Commerce Kids Executive Case Study

GENERAL QUESTIONS

1. What leadership experiences and skills do you have that make you the best addition to the Commerce Kids executive?

I enjoy working with children and I believe I have the skills that best addition to the Commerce Kids executive. I see this Committee inspiring as it provides children lessons and enjoyment that further allow them to grow.

I have grown up in a family of 5; I have an older sister and a younger brother. Since I was little, I have learned the importance of seeking in a different perspective and taking care of young child. As my brother and I have age gap of four years, I had to often take care of him. By this, I learned to look at the situation in his perspective before scolding him. In addition, I recognized

I was then assigned a table to seat in and immediately after, another activity for the event began. I believe the children will have a better experience if they were to have a connection with the volunteer or even a milestone that will bring their curiosity of the volunteers. Thus, when new volunteers enter the room, I think there should be a set time that will allow the volunteers to introduce themselves. Another idea is to create creative name tags – filled with drawings or even a fun fact about themselves. By this, I believe volunteers will be more approachable for the children.

3. If you could be any age for a week, what age would you be and why?

If I could be any age for a week, I would be an age of 13. This was the last summer I saw my grandma. As I was not mature, I did not fully appreciate when she cooked for me and when she showed her love. I would complain to my parents that her house was boring and that we had nothing to do. Thus, when I am 13 again, I want to give her lots of hugs and kisses, saying “I love you.”; eat her home meal with a bright smile on my face, saying “I want another dish.” I want give her the best impression and image of her granddaughter, so I will have no

What is an initiative we could implement to improve and maintain connectivity between the executive and the volunteers throughout the semester?

An initiative we could implement to improve and maintain connectivity between the executive and the volunteer throughout the semester is have a luncheon, dinner, or social together.

A luncheon or dinner could be anywhere like Boston Pizza or The Works. However, executive must sit separately between the volunteers when sitting in a table. By this, all the volunteers would have a chance to ask questions to executives and have conversations with them.

Social could be a potluck with everyone. This will be done after we have gotten to know each other a little bit. By having this in a house with no set of chairs, I believe it will be a great opportunity for executives and volunteers to interact with each other.

In order to create a connectivity, I believe we have to build a relationship with the volunteers. Thus, as volunteers and executive build a relationship outside of Commerce Kids events, I believe we could improve the connectivity. Furthermore, volunteers will be more motivated in their work/positions as they will feel more included in the

    Brainstorm how you can set up board meetings that will work for everyone, even if you have to get creative. Keymi wrote me with another great idea: perhaps you all could attend one of PGE's board meetings so you can see what role each position takes and how each position is required to make the whole. I will, of course, ask for my board's approval first, but I am certain each of them would love to help. We can also call on any of the ECC PTA board members to meet with your board. I would only ask that everyone must attend such a meeting.…

    If they have any parties or events, these events are held at Westchester Senior Citizen Center. So, I think they should create a Westchester Playa Village Center where volunteers and members can gather together and get to know each other. This center will be similar to a senior citizen center, but Westchester Playa Village will run the center. This gives volunteers and senior citizens the chance to leave their homes and meet in a place where they can interact with each other. Volunteers can transport members to the center and they can have events such as game night.…

    Class Connections: 1. Through volunteering at KinderFrogs, I mainly learned that gender can be such a social construct. Meaning, we as humans either consciously or not, typically adhere to the different gender stereotypes that have been presented to us throughout our lives. While we have discussed this concept in great detail in class, we usually focused on the negative aspects of “socializing gender.” For example, we have talked about how boys feel pressured not to cry or play with dolls, girls feel like they can’t be as good at math, and one’s personal appearance determines what gender they are.…

    I want to start off by saying that the role of any position in our chapter is to serve the sisters and this is especially true for the social chair.
