Representative Leadership

"A good citizen should take his stand where the public authority marshals him."

--Thomas Jefferson

Being a representative for others is perhaps the most recognized form of leadership today. Leaders in these positions have been chosen by others to represent their interests in situations when the voices and decision making-authority of many needs to be entrusted to one individual. At the University of Washington, opportunities to become involved in representative leadership include the elected positions in student government, residence hall councils, Greek organizations, student clubs, and so much more. In addition, students have the chance to represent the voices of their peers through employment or volunteer positions involved in the governance and operations of the University.

The opportunities to become a representative leader at the University of Washington are broad in scope, commitment, and level of required experience. The following list offers information on some but by no means all of the chances you have to engage in the shared governance of this campus.
