How to prioritize information when describing club leadership roles in a limited space?

Hello, I'm in the process of completing my college applications and I need some advice on describing my extracurricular activities. I have a 150-character limit for each description, and I'm not sure which aspects of my club leadership role to prioritize. Should I focus on the more "obvious" responsibilities such as leading meetings and mediating discussions, or should I emphasize my fundraising efforts and the events I organized? Any guidance on how to make the most of the limited space would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Prioritize unique achievements and specific impacts you made as a leader. Emphasize fundraising efforts, events organized, or any innovations you brought to the club. Remember to keep it concise and choose words that best represent your accomplishments within the character limit. Best of luck!
