We will soon be hosting a high school graduation party at our home for my oldest child. UNC Chapel Hill, here comes my son Robert!

This Sunday, we Americans will celebrate Mother’s Day. We might bring the mothers in our lives flowers, or take them to brunch or dinner to let them know how much we appreciate them. May I suggest another idea? Invite one of the fabulous, multi-tasking, capable and compassionate mothers you know to serve on the board of your nonprofit.

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.
