The quality of leadership plays a major role in the success of any organization. The Southeastern Adirondack Chapter of NYFOA is no exception. Over the years since its creation, SAC has had numerous effective, hard-working, and creative leaders who have spent their two years as Chair helping to make this a successful chapter, and contributing to the efficacy of our statewide organization. Several of us here know first-hand or from watching spouses and friends, that those two years as Chair are really demanding, as well as rewarding. We also know that chapters in the state that have not had leaders have disbanded or seriously diminished.
