Perhaps we should ask some board members
from other chapters what they get up to? How much time
they spend on
chapter stuff, in particular.
Well. It can differ widely. (In a perfect world, every board member
would "work" the same amount of time for the chapter, but that's not
even what I'm talking about here) :
I remember weeks where I might have only worked 1-2 hours for the
chapter. In other weeks, especially in the weeks before an event or
when you do a coordinated "urgent action" (for "urgent", read:
"We
forgot that this law was coming up for committee debate and had to
start our lobbying at a very late point"), it felt more like a 50%
part time job.
But anyway, I think it's very difficult to just give a number of
hours. In a newspaper interview, I once said "7-10 hours", which
wasn't a bad estimate then. It has decreased a bit as of late (as I've
been doing more ChapCom etc. stuff...and as I have started to
work-to-earn-money)
