Our board is meeting Monday evening August 31st, returning after having their scheduled month of July break. We are blessed to have community leaders who are willing to dedicate their time to giving oversite to the vision, goals and finances of the Mission.
This month we’ll be catching up the board on the progress of a number of our projects. This past spring we launch two excited new programs that are already paying dividends for our Mission. The first is our Volunteer Program. Led by Juliet Lee and Kathy Austin, this program is designed to make volunteering easier and rewarding for each volunteer. We’ll be updating the board on it’s progress and on steps to come.
We’ll also be talking about our Alumni Program and our enhanced efforts to make sure that graduates of the New Life Program continue to succeed when the move back into their life outside the mission. Marlene Hamilton leads this program.
In addition we’ll be talking with the board about our Colonial Sq. partnership with Boston Capital and the future of the great affordable housing complex.
We’ll also be working on planning a Board Advance (we advance, we don’t retreat) for this fall to cover issues of board governance and Mission branding.
