More time with our board ...

Last week was a bit of catching up with some of the members of our board. I suppose you can view a board in a number of different ways. I view them as key and critical to our success. They are checks and balances to us running the operation, they are broad in their experience and offer great input and feedback, they are there to help us with fundraising and basically they are my boss!

So last week was the first time post our initial board meeting that we got to hear from them. And the input, feedback and support is was awesome. We had Mike pointing out that we are not crisp in our messages, that we need to focus on insuring that the students get that great experience and that we should be careful not to go too broad as opposed to deep initially.
Curt and Lewis wanted to make sure that we have a clear and motivating vision and mission, and that our fundraising gets off to a good start.

How much better is it than a board who are willing to spend hours working on all of this with us. I am not only pleased, but I wouldn't want it any other way!
