Re: Student Leadership
Our team has three student leaders: the Business Lead, who oversees our Business Division, our Build Lead, who oversees the Build Division, and the Team Captain, who does administrative work and behind the scenes support.
Within both divisions, students are able to become Task Leads, making them the head of their own project (for example: drive train, bumpers, scouting, etc) and giving them valuable leadership experience as they move up through the team. All members are strongly encouraged to become Task Leads, though many of our members work on tasks under the Task Leads.
Elections decide our Build Lead, Business Lead, and Team Captain, but our Task Leads are whoever steps up to the challenge. We have weekly Task Lead meetings (Task Leads + 3 leaders) and weekly team leader meetings (3 leaders + mentors + anyone else interested). Notes are posted online for the team to see.
We've found that this system works pretty well for us [:
