That's only forty weeks a year. But that means 200 contacts a year. Just think of a roaring ripple effect. But that's just one board member. Multiply that times the number of members you have on your board.
Excellence is Everything.
Trustees settle for nothing less than the best. They make certain that all activities and offerings are the highest quality possible. They understand that the institution's success is in direct proportion to the Board's commitment to excellence. It is indeed a very strange phenomenon of trusteeship - when you are willing to accept mediocrity in staff work and programs, you will get mediocre work. Board members understand that they do not have the luxury of mediocrity.
