What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

I try to give fair and balanced answers to any questions or concerns that come my way.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

As I stated before, I have a lot of experience with volunteering and this is another volunteer position. There is tremendous responsibility with raising money and keeping things on a direct path, so I feel that I have a different way of seeing things than others.
