Does the Rule of Thirds for Volunteer Boards Apply to You?
How many of you love math? I am thrilled that my 9-year-old grandson is a whiz at math in school. I was a co-whiz in my West Virginia elementary school. Each week, I had to battle David Brown for honors in our weekly speed math contest on the chalk board. He and I had the problem noted on the board half solved before the grand "face-off" in the front of the class. My love of numbers fits well with our profession, which is all about numbers!
