When I joined The Leadership Board, I didn’t know what to expect. I had always been involved on campus, but never off campus in Muncie. I love to volunteer, and after reading what Leadership Board was all about, I decided to join. I went to the first meeting on a Monday, and I wasn’t the only new person there.

Your response is always the same: “They need me.” Then you strap yourself into the Batmobile and speed away. Which obstacle lies ahead? Is it the Riddler? Cat Woman? Two-Face?
