• Ultimately, the IM ExecComm Chairperson position is one of high responsibility, but one that is a lot of fun, too!

It is imperative that good teamwork and communication is established between the Chairman and other ExecComm members to ensure the IM program stays organized. A position on the IM Exec Comm will increase your leadership experience and open your eyes to the administrative side of a large-scale program such as MIT Intramurals. Participation on IM ExecComm will be a great opportunity for you to make a huge difference in something you love doing -- especially if that something is sports, recreation, and/or sports administration.
