This is so true. While some may want to be bffs with the members, that is not the purpose of the advisory positions, and it is often a very frustrating, time consuming pursuit. I would encourage you to continue to your involvement in the Junior League, and possibly pursuing something like tutoring opportunities. I tutored a student when I was in college and it was very rewarding. You just need to be open to the opportunities that are out there and if AI is meant to be, it will come to you, not vice versa.
