JAN: Mom joined me and the pool’s iguana at the lovely San Juan Ritz-Carlton for the College Board’s annual Trustees’ Retreat. Dined under the stars with Puerto Rican leaders.
APR: In DC’s Willard Hotel for a joint College Board/Asia Society dinner honoring Mme Liu Yandong, State Councilor of China. Renewed friendship with Mme Xu Lin, Director of Hanban, whom I met last summer in Beijing.
OCT: Visited Palisade Prep School in Yonkers, NY - one of our College Board Schools using the Board’s materials to prepare each of its middle school kids for college success.
NOV: Fellow State Farm Bank Advisory Board member Gilda Gonzalez hosted our board’s visit to The Unity Council’s FruitVale Village in Oakland, CA - an inspiring mixed-use development including low- and market-rate housing, Head Start pre-school, high school, & retail shops instead of the originally-planned parking structure around a BART station.
Spring/Summer: I was elected to the Vision Board of Peace Lutheran Church in Gahanna. Joined fellow church members Joe Scmitt, President Doug Evans & others on mission trips to build our food/clothing distribution center in Appalachian Ohio & cooking dinners once each month for homeless families at the Columbus YWCA Family Center.
