The Internal Vice President’s primary role is to facilitate and foster the growth of MSA Committees. Committees are a major source of consistent community involvement and empowerment. They decentralize leadership from the Board, allow community members to develop as leaders, foster more close-knit sub-communities within the larger community, and provide multiple avenues through which members can fulfill their duty as active Muslims. The successful and smooth operation of MSA committees is therefore central to the health of our community and a noble responsibility upon the Internal Vice President. He or she will be expected to uphold and improve upon the outlined MSA Committees operating procedures (link).
The Internal Vice President will serve as a close, trusted mentor and friend for each Committee Head. He or she will seek to identify each Committee Head’s aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and make it a priority to provide resources and opportunities that individually develop MSA’s leaders and enhance their quality of service.
The Internal Vice President also serves as second in command after the President. He or she will be responsible for maintaining a positive relationship with the President, checking in on his or her well being and providing support when appropriate.
