Leadership in the UUG can be fun.  I've had an overall great time doing it for 
several years.  To have a great club, there needs to be great leadership.  If 
you have ever thought to yourself "gee, I wish they would do this better" 
or "why is the UUG not doing that?", now is the time to take action nominate 
yourself to a position or nominate someone else you think will do a great job 
and get the job done.  Freshman, you have lots of energy, become a club 
officer!

Oh, and by nominating good leaders who may get elected, you are doing your 
part to bring down the McNabb Dynasty!

I've had someone contact me as well.  Although I stayed in school rather than 
looking into it.  Networking is the best way to get your name out there and 
hear about good jobs (on and off campus).  UUG can be a great place for this.

Right, so if running for those BYUSA leadership positions didn't work out for 
you, go for a leadership position in the UUG!  Less meetings and less hate 
mail guaranteed!  And you don't have to stand in the middle of campus and beg 
people you don't know to vote for you.  Everyone already knows you!

Tons 'O Fun.

Plus between everyone, tasks can be divided between officers.  And there are 
no required BYUSA meetings to go to like many years ago.  :)

Now is the time for someone to boldly take the club where it's never gone 
before.
