Every board member I've spoken to over the last 10 years has reflected about how they regret not focusing more on teaching and learning. They spent most of theri time navigating things that can best be described as "emergencies, distractions, and processes." Representing the NAACP, I encourage you to have insight and apply it so you don't have the same regrets.
Lastly, we have to be better about responding only to caravans and personal attacks. You have taught the public how to treat you. WHen you don't respond to people asking for civil dialogue, you signal how you want to be treated. Don't blame the public for acting up - that is what you have been most responsive to over the last 18 months. I urge you to re-establish standards of decorum that are badly needed.
