    Perfect timing! Having my first committee meeting for a summer “thank you” event this very evening. Guess what video I’ll be showing them?! I love the idea of picking up people – even if they say “no,” it still shows that you are willing to go the extra mile because they are that special. Thanks!

    Encouraging board members to be roving hosts is a great idea.
