Take this not as political commentary, but as social commentary— not about them, but about us
Ayyy, you’ll ask me, the regular guys have to do that work thing, like with bosses and schedules, so when will they have time to askan-ize? It’s a fair question, so how about this: At least bring in board members who were once regular and can remember it, or at the very least, who associate with regular people.
The askan/nadvan/lay leader class is doing so much, giving heart and soul, resources and energy. If you’re around that table, make one more investment and try to make time to listen to the people you aim to serve.
It’s how you win.
