3. Financial Stewardship

Own area-level budgets, expenses, and profitability metrics.

Ensure financial goals are achieved through disciplined cost management and strategic investment.

Provide data-driven insights to leadership to inform growth decisions.

4. People Leadership

Recruit, develop, and inspire a high-performing team of managers and staff.

Build a culture of accountability, motivation, and member-first service.

Lead training initiatives that elevate leadership capacity and frontline performance.
