We are currently recruiting for our 2024 board! In the coming weeks, we will be publishing information about available board positions. Today, we’ll be talking about the open President position and hearing from our current President, Adara Citron.

President

Description: Lead the Board meetings. Act as ambassador to both the members of the club and members of the community. Supports other Board members as needed. Usually 5 hours per month.

Adara’s Thoughts: Being President for the last year has been such an honor. It's been a joy to make improvements to the organization and structure of the Club, and watch membership grow as a result of increased community engagement. Honestly, I was intimidated when I initially took the reins. I was nervous about the workload and time commitment, but was pleasantly surprised with how managable it's been to fit into my full-time work schedule and being a mom to two young kids. Being supported by a strong Board has made my job so much easier; my role is to create an environment where they can shine. The continuing 2024 Board is also equally strong, and I know that the next President will continue to be supported. This role is what you make of it; it can be as laid back or involved as you have time for. In addition to the complementary SMPC membership, a huge perk is getting to meet so many Club members. I love growing this community and feeling connected to others no matter where we are in San Mateo and surrounding areas.
