If my post makes you think I'm calling you out, maybe I am...

Importance of Board Member Duties

If you have an opportunity to serve on a Board of Officers in a networking group like AmSpirit Business Connections (or any other group for that matter), take advantage of it.  Not only does it present you as more of a leader but you can showcase your abilities as well.

However, if you 'drop the ball' in being a board member, you can do a lot of harm to your personal and professional brand.  So take it seriously!  It's one more way for others to judge whether they would trust you in giving referrals to their best clients.  If you don't follow through or do not even carry out the tasks associated with your board position, others may still know and like you, but they will not trust you.  And that is never a good thing!
