Leadership Team
The leadership team is the head leadership for the entire chapter. The following is a descriptive list of the typical roles within the leadership team. Not every position will be filled every year the structure of the leadership team depends on both the chapters current needs and the gifts of the applicants. [Note: leadership team is a simply a name to distinguish the head leadership (who are required to attend the weekly leadership meeting) from the other necessary leadership positions. Every person who has a role in InterVarsity is a leader of his/her area] Leadership Team Application
