“An undervalued characteristic of good leaders is the use of humor to reduce anxiety and liberate creativity in the leader’s team while retaining focus on the organization’s goals and objectives.” — Fred Church Senior Advisory Board member Chair of the Board of Directors 1984-88 “Leadership is all about RESPECT. To become a true leader, you must first show respect for those whom you wish to lead, ascribing dignity to each individual such that his or her talents are felt to be recognized and appreciated. Once this is achieved, you will achieve the respect from those you seek to lead, and you are on your way to being a true leader.” — John U. Harris Jr., Senior Advisory Board member, Chair of the Board of Directors 1972-76 “Kevin Phelan is a leader I look up to. He has been a mentor to me since I was an 18-year-old senior in high school thinking about going to college. Since then I am proud to say I received a degree from Kevin’s alma mater, Providence College. There have been countless phone conversations and trips to his office to discuss anything from which college courses to take to career advice. Kevin has always been there for me, and someone I truly aspire to be like as I start my own career.“ — Eamon Miller South Boston Club Alumni Council member Kevin Phelan served as Chair of the Board of Directors from 1988-92, and is currently a member of the Senior Advisory Board. unswerving leadership… “ [The recent violence] is a real tragedy and brings home in spades the reality of the vulnerabilities that these kids face, and the fragility of the system which lies just below the surface of things in many of these inner city communities and which most people can not see or know. In so many ways, it is a reminder of the daily sense of urgency all of us must feel at ensuring the continuing availability and strengthening of club resources and capabilities. Thank goodness for the clubs and for your and your team’s unswerving ” leadership and commitment to the kids. — pete nicholas, Senior Advisory Board member Enduring impacts… “ Although management and staff leadership has historically been central to BGCB’s enduring impacts, it has been the high caliber of its Board leadership that has made those achievements possible. Sandy Edgerley has epitomized the most effective qualities of board leadership: passion for mission, aptitude for strategy, and compassion for people. Jonathan Davis is a most fitting successor and will continue ” BGCB’s enviable pattern of electing talented organizational stewards as Chairs of its Board. — linda Whitlock, Former BGCB nicholas president and CEO pAGE 4 | BOyS & GIrlS ClUBS OF BOSTOn | 2010 AnnUAl rEpOrT
