Last week my colleague, Leslie wrote a great post on how to carefully weigh an invitation to join a non-profit board. I would like to journey a bit further down that path to the moment you have decided to say yes.
During our time away at Lake Gaston this summer one afternoon I tore myself off the boat and into the car to return to Raleigh for a meeting.
I am fortunate to be surrounded in both my professional and personal life by people and organizations who are focused on doing good and helping others. Every day I see selfless acts in response to the needs of neighbors and complete strangers. Often these acts are done behind the scenes with great humility. I know it is a gift to see this beautiful side of humanity on a daily basis, and I am truly grateful.
We all know the saying, you only have one chance to make a first impression. For me, my mother taught me that. She encouraged me to be sure I was always neat in my appearance and appropriately dressed for every situation. Decades later, I still live by the standards she taught me—most days! But, in our modern world, making a first impression includes an electronic first impression often before or even in lieu of a face to face impression.
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
