Define the Role - From your perspective what were the duties of the role? What areas could the role have covered that perhaps you didn’t have the opportunity to undertake?
Role within the Committee – How does your role interact with other positions within the committee? What does reporting look like?
Where is the portfolio now? –If you had another term what would you focus on?
Challenges –How did you deal with them? Have you dealt with similar challenges differently to others in this handbook?
Contacts – What contacts have you made? How helpful were they? Did they seem willing to assist the committee in the future? How indebted is the committee to them? YOU! Would you be happy to assist in the coming years in this portfolio?
