[mit-habitat] [Habitat for Humanity] Apply for Exec!

[gracelee@MIT.EDU]

Hello everyone,

It's not too late to apply for the Habitat Executive Board!  Habitat Exec is a
great way to get more involved in our organization, and to participate in the
crucial planning and operation phases of our events.

The open positions are: (see below for position responsibilities)
- Build day coordinator
- Spring break trip coordinator
- Campus Build coordinator
- Fundraising committee

Instead of a paper application, the officers and I will be conducting brief,
informal interviews.  Email me back if you are interested in applying!

Cheers,

Grace Lee
MIT Habitat for Humanity club, President
