Meeting Overview
Quince Orchard Library will host an in-person interest meeting for teens who want to learn about the Teen Advisory Board (TAB) Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is a small teen leadership team that helps TAB plan, coordinate, and follow through between regular TAB meetings. Executive Committee members help move ideas from brainstorming to finished programs and completed projects.

Meeting discussion will cover:

• Executive Committee responsibilities and decision boundaries.
• Role options and expectations.
• Monthly meeting schedule and between-meeting tasks.
• Interest form, selection steps, and selection timeline.

Benefits of Serving
Executive Committee service builds skills that schools and employers value, including reliability, communication, teamwork, organization, initiative, problem solving, and public speaking. Executive Committee service also produces documented work that strengthens applications, resumes, and interview responses.

Examples of resume-ready work include:

• Planning and leading programs for teens and younger children.
• Preparing program materials, supply lists, and setup plans.
• Building an event plan with a timeline, task list, and assigned roles.
• Drafting outreach and promotional text for staff review.
• Designing flyers and social media graphics for staff review.
• Leading a meeting segment and documenting decisions and next steps.
• Recording meeting notes and maintaining an action-item tracker.
• Coordinating with peers to complete a project by a deadline.

SSL Hours
Teens who attend in person will earn 1 SSL hour for meeting attendance. Staff will record attendance on site. Teens who want to be considered for an Executive Committee role should attend to ensure a consistent and fair selection process.
