Some are hired for their outgoing personality and ability to motivate a chapter, while others are hired for their ability to deal with a struggling chapter. Each consultant brings a specific strength to the consultant team, yet is well-rounded enough to deal with almost any situation that may arise. This is a job that carries with it a lot of responsibility. A chapter's survival may rest entirely in the hands of a consultant, and his or her ability to put the chapter back on the right track. Some of the situations found in chapters can be challenging and frustrating, yet this job does carry many perks.
Most organizations pay all travel expenses.
This may include airfare or the cost of gas. Their food and lodging is provided by the chapters they visit. In addition, consultants usually attend their national conventions free of charge. For a person who likes to travel, this job can feel like an extended vacation. The friendships you make as a consultant may last long after your term ends.
