A friend I started serving
on a Board with 30 years ago, has been recruited (at 80!) and is
relocating. I heard the story and said, “Somebody should throw him
a party!”
Not being a party thrower,
I asked our executive officer, an
eager, hispanic Radar
O’Reilly, “How much do I front you to get this done?”
The next day the XO called
and said a lot of people from the organization wanted to attend, was
that OK?
I had thought maybe a
dozen of the old timers would be interested. In real time, I realized
that this was more than recognition of a hard worker who stayed the
course, more than a group hug.
This is a chance to show
maybe a hundred people what good is. A change of command ceremony is
a huge opportunity to teach culture.
Sometimes just getting
underway opens new possibilities.
