Dear Friends, I have the fortunate pleasure of serving our community as a Board member for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County. We are truly blessed by the engagement of our stakeholders as we work to further our mission: to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Our Board of Directors takes our charge very seriously in providing strong governance, fiscal oversight, and leadership to our dynamic staff team who executes in the most professional way possible, each and every day. As our organization has grown so significantly in the last few years, we are fortunate to have continued growing as a Board to support this. In <strong>2018</strong>, we welcomed new members Ross Roberts, Brian Soneda, Eric Johnson, Kristen Keltz, and Dan Milfred, all of whom began making an immediate impact in strengthening our organization. Over the last year, as a Board, we have been quite active. Our Board members have been invited to present to other organizations about best practices in Board Development and Resource Development, and we have adopted new policies regarding access to, and privacy of Club donor records, CEO and Board succession policies, and a policy for serving members with special needs. In recognition of the efforts of the Board of Directors, our organization was once again honored with a League of Eagles Award from Boys & Girls Clubs of America. I take pride in all that has been accomplished and thank you for your support, advocacy, and feedback and reflection which has continued to make us the best Boys & Girls Club organization we can be. Skagit County is a special place to live and work, and our Clubs are working hard to ensure it continues to be in the future, with a new generation of leaders ready to serve and be active in their community.
