Several of you have asked for advice about serving on local, regional, and state boards and councils. Since our role with these groups must be educational, I prefer that you serve in an exofficio/non voting/non leadership capacity. This will help you stay in your educational role and avoid legal and perception dilemmas. If you are uncertain what role is best for you and your programming when working with boards and councils, feel free to contact me or Jeanne Warning to discuss the situation. Remember, regional work means we need to have a sharp focus on education and capacity building. This may mean giving up some of our previous roles in organizational development at the local level.
