2012 Resolutions, 2 of 10
Two years ago, I blogged about ten resolutions for 2011,
and posted the entry on the bulletin board behind my desk so I could
stare at it all year long. One year ago, I blogged about how I did on these ten resolutions. In sum: some B’s, some C’s, and (gulp) some D’s. As for this year (and as for next year, let’s roll over these resolutions and see how I do in 2013):
2. Civic – join one or two more boards.
This is a tough balance between wanting to get more
involved from a professional development standpoint and needing to prune down
so as not to burn out. I am termed out
of being an elder at my church. I was
supposed to be termed out at The Enterprise Center but my former boss snookered
me into staying on with a new title, Director Emeritus, and also tasked me to
chair a new Board Development Committee (and somehow convinced me that I was
excited about all this). I continue to
be involved at Spruce Hill Community Association (board member) and Fels
Institute of Government (instructor, 75th anniversary host committee
member, alumni leadership council member).
I actually declined a board seat at another local non-profit but plan to
revisit the invitation in a year. And I
picked up a bunch of one-off service opportunities. All in all, I’m happy with my commitments but
always open to new ways to serve. Grade:
B.
