earlier i posted about the value of having an excellent ED REP in your HBS section your first year. i'd also like to take some time to talk about a position that is somewhat less valuable within the student intra-section government - the L&V rep (Leadership and Values rep), which, in my opinion, is one of the most worthless positions out there and should probably be eliminated.
L&V reps supposedly monitor the moral compass as your section experience takes shape in your first year at HBS. i honestly don't know how or in what form they add value. in my section all the L&V rep did was review skydecks before they were shown to the section on Fridays. one time we were held back by the L&V rep for a "working lunch" session to come up with a values framework and list of social mores (Do's and Dont's) - it was the biggest waste of time ever. i don't mean to sound TOO harsh on L&V - i actually liked our section L&V rep as a person. however, within the framework of student government, i don't understand why each section has to have an L&V rep. perhaps do some consolidation, eliminate L&V at the section level, and perhaps have one class-wide L&V rep? just my thoughts...
