Personal: Over the years, I have learned what an effective board looks like. Effective boards are transparent, open to criticism and engaging other people in the activities of the board. Effective boards have open financial records and treat questions as opportunities to connect and not as crticism. Effective boards don’t stand behind bureaucratic rules that are not necessary; they change them. My desire is to work with the board members to help them become true neighbors to the neighborhood and treat everyone as a friend.
