A few words from the former LCP

Being LCP means standing in the limelight of your LC and on national level. It means having a lot of eyes on you, watching your every step. If you slip, negative feedback en masse is ensured. If you succeed, it is due to the brilliance of your members. Being LCP means taking a lot of responsibility, committing oneself with more than just your spare time for this job, holding and maintaining a vast network of business contacts and shouldering the development of your LC members and their well being. Being LCP means going to sleep with concerns, waking up with solutions, applying them during the day and returning to bed calmly.
