We recently put out a call on LinkedIn for new board members—something we do periodically to strengthen our organization’s leadership. Typically, these calls bring in 10 to 20 strong applicants. But this year, something remarkable happened: we received over 100 incredible applications in less than two weeks.
This overwhelming response is more than just a pleasant surprise—it’s a powerful sign of the times. Despite the challenges many of us face, people are clearly seeking deeper connections, meaningful engagement, and ways to lift up their communities. The sheer number of qualified, passionate individuals eager to serve speaks volumes about the enduring human drive to support those more vulnerable than ourselves.
To everyone who applied—thank you. Your enthusiasm and commitment inspire us. We’re reviewing applications carefully and look forward to bringing new voices and perspectives to our board.
For those still interested in getting involved, there are always opportunities to contribute. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for being part of a community that cares.
