“Gail, I am putting some of your ideas into action….
At our last Trustee meeting, I asked, “What legacy do you want to leave from serving on this board?”
Well, you would have thought I had opened the flood gates. One man told us about his cousin in hospice . . . and how we helped his family through that terrible time.
This turned out to be the best meeting we've had so far on with this group in the last 3 years!
This is a wonderful and satisfying change for the better.”
Laurie Taylor, Lower Cape Fear Hospice Foundation
Great Results!

Advice Visits
“I've been having a great time contacting various business leaders asking for their coaching/opinion on making the Grand Canyon Chapter of the Red Cross a success.
I briefly outline the reasons I serve on the board, what the Red Cross does in our community, and ask what successful practices they have seen on other charitable boards.
The response is great. They are interested in the Red Cross and want to have on-going dialogue! It's about relationships...... Thanks again, Gail
