June is one of those months that pulls at the heart strings of many board directors. There are smiles, tears, hugs and good byes to be said as we attend staff retirements, award ceremonies, graduations from Kindergarten to High School, moving up ceremonies, booknic reading, fundraising events, town parades, did I mention graduations? Also regular board business such as board meetings. All in all I counted 24 board related events on my calendar for the month of June and I wouldn’t miss a single one of them!
