Election is coming

My Chinese Clan Association's State level Election and National level's election is coming soon. Both will be in June. For the youth NGO that I belong to, a local election is in August or September and the National Level is in October. In total, this year there are 4 elections for me to go through. Among all, the youth NGO's area Peninsula's Executive Vice President election is the most interesting one. I can foresee another tough fight in this position again in October.

To me, election is time we decide whether the board of directors perform up to their Key Performance Index or not. If they do not perform, it is always up to us to change the leadership. However, the youth NGO that I belongs to has a different system. The system's purpose is to train more young leaders, and hence the president has to change every year. Everyone in the youth NGO, has only 1 lifetime chance to become a president.

Having been served as President in year 2008, I experienced the limelight given as a President. Privilege given as a president of a club is so much so that a normal person will not be able to resist.

As there are people who wants to fight for attention, and there are people who wants to stay to work and benefit the association and the community. I always wanted to ask those who wants to be nominated, are they willing to serve and not ask for return?
