Giving Back to Executive Directors

I give back precisely because you work so hard. I’ve been there. I know how you are pressed to perform. I know what the long hours are like. I know the sacrifices you make in your family life. When I was an executive director, I deserved a financial break. I deserved staff and community support. I deserved quality time away from the office.

I wish I had a ready tool that could help me save time and maximize resources. But I didn’t.

So, I created one.
