Thoughts
from Randy - Blog
Star Bright
Have you ever stood outside on a clear night and gazed at the North
Star? It doesn’t ever seem to move – it appears to be the brightest
star in the sky - and it just makes sense that everyone from the
Wise Men to those on the high seas used this star for navigational
purposes. What you can’t tell about the North Star is that there are
two of them. The North Star is actually a binary star system.
On December 10th, 2010 SONM had its annual Board of Directors
Retreat. Part of the day included a presentation by Jim Reist, the
attorney on our Board. Jim shared with us important information
about Nonprofit Board Membership, including two primary duties of
all Board members – duties that he likened to the North Star. These
are the Duty of Care and the Duty of Loyalty.
