A message from our departing Board Members:
It’s been a privilege and honor to serve the community as a board member alongside our colleagues on this and last year’s board. They have all served selflessly. We learned a lot! One of the most important things we learned is what serving means and how everyone plays a role. Here are ways we can ALL serve beyond the obvious volunteering for the board or a committee. Here’s our top ten list:
- Be kind – it multiplies and comes back to you
- Give Grace – no one is perfect, we are all doing our best
- Listen with an open mind
- Respect one another – even when you disagree
- Educate yourself from reliable resources– assuming only adds to confusion and misinformation
- Comply with the rules
- Be flexible and adaptable; change is constant
- Lift one another up
- Offer solutions – not demands
- Focus on the positive – it’s contagious!
In conclusion, we are better together when we serve one another. How will you serve?
