Step 4: The Brit (Agreement)

Visit www.tinyc.org/yetiboardbrit to read the terms you are committing to by joining the YETI Board

We suggest right-clicking on the link above to open in a new window.

* I hereby sign this brit (agreement) along with my parent/guardian and the adult staff of Temple Israel to show my commitment to the YETI Board and to the youth organization as a whole. I agree to the above terms and will follow the given guidelines.

* I also understand that by serving on the Board, I am devoting a significant amount of my time to an extra-curricular activity. Academics and my schoolwork should come first, but I understand that my responsibilities as an officer must also be a high priority. I recognize that I will need to plan ahead in order to ensure that I can fully honor the commitments I have made to this organization, as well as any other clubs, teams, and activities of which I am a part. I know that there may be times when I have conflicts and cannot be as involved as I should be, and I also know that there may be other times when I need to take a step back from another organization in order to honor my responsibilities to this group. If at any point my grades in school, my behavior and/or attendance at events, and/or my commitment to my leadership role become problematic, my ability to sit on the Board may need to be re-assessed.

Step 5: Logistics

* Upload a photo to be shown during elections:

You can upload a maximum of 1 files.
Photo should be just of you. A selfie is fine!

* I understand that after I press submit, a copy of my application will be sent to my parent/guardian for them to review. My candidacy will only be approved once that adult authorizes it.

Is there anything else about you that you wish to share as part of your application?
