Thank you so much for posting this article!
Many of us have been very passionate about national politics with high hopes of making an impact. We may have some success with this but I believe that the most important place to put that energy is to participate locally. All of these above mentioned boards need members (as do so many of our non-profit boards) and I thank (and have admiration) for people who are willing to put their political energy into the local infrastructure.
I am especially hoping that people who are committed to living in the islands and are in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s will help guide us into the future.
