Program Highlights
Inaugural Ready To Serve Workshop is a Success
More than 175 participants took part in the inaugural Ready To Serve board training workshop Feb. 3 and Feb. 10. Community leaders provided insight to how boards operate and members' responsibilities. Presenters encouraged members to believe in a board's mission, as serving goes beyond attending monthly meetings.
Participants gave the workshop high marks - a 4.3 average on a 5-point scale.
"Overall, this was fantastic," one participant said. "I learned so much. The speakers were great, and they were very inspirational."
