Today's Nonprofit Wonder - New Boards, New Anxiety

I'm serving on a new nonprofit board and I am relearning/reliving all the frustrations that go along with that. Mostly of people outside of the board questioning our path, our plan, our activities. It's tough getting started and building an organization - even tougher when your hard work is always questioned.

BUT...when I stop and think about it all, people question how we handle things because they care. They care about the mission. They care about reaching our goals. They care about being effective and efficient and successful.

I encourage all those out there to not only keep up the questions but to step forward and work closely with these fledgling organizations. If your passion runs deep for the mission, seriously consider becoming a board member. It is the best way to forge the path and build the foundation to ensure ongoing success. Sign Up Today!
