Can I lead?
Directors build teams and divide responsibility. The work should not depend on one person.
Resala AUC Board Recruitment
How to Choose Your Director Role
Board is not a title. It is a responsibility behind every step Resala builds.
Do not choose a role only because it sounds impressive. Choose the role where you can clearly answer: why does this role fit me, and how can I serve Resala through it?
Decision path
Choose in this order
Can I own?
Ownership means noticing problems early, following up, and protecting Resala's people and impact.
Can I commit?
Choose the role whose real work you can repeat consistently, not only the title you like.
