So, I have spent the last couple of weeks sort of scouting for board members. I got a few references from a really good supporter and I spent this week calling a few other hopefuls. One in particular... I was praying hard for his support and after the third call he informed me that he could not serve as a board member because of another commitment to a similar initiative.
Though I am sort of immune to rejection, I was really let down simply because I felt he would have been a really good fit for my organization. I decided to just call the others and get the rejection on in so that tomorrow I could start a fresh.
I called another potential member and he answered on the first call.. Halle! But it shocked me so much so, that I almost forgot why I was calling. We agreed to further decide on a date to meet. That reassured me that all hope was not lost.
As of now, I am two board members in and three to go.
Let's keep it moving.
Ahhh!
