A new article about the recent award for our hard working Friends group:

Kevin didn't miss a day of work for 27 years. Not quite sure the thank you was appropriate. If you love your employer's awards and recognition program, feel free to share what you love about it most.

March is B Corp month! Every year B Lab and the global B Corp community join together to celebrate everything it means to be a B Corp…. …. B Lab’s standards are not the benchmark of business perfection, because there is no such thing as a perfect business. B Corp Certification requires a company to meet high standards of social and environmental performance and it is the beginning of a journey of continuous improvement 💪🏽. #BCorpMonth #BCorp #BCorporation #continiousimprovement

Happiness is not just material things of course! It is centered around the people and relationships in our business/professional and personal life. We all lose sight of this at times. Always be thankful and grateful… #LeadershipEnlightenment, #LeadershipToServeAll, #FranchisingExcellence, #StuartWilliams @StuartWilliams.com, #HappyFrogCarWash, @HappyFrogCarWash.com

My term on the AAPPR Board of directors came to an end last week, and as I’ve been reflecting and compiling memories from the last six years, I’ve been humbled by the accomplishments, the progress, the hardships and the perseverance we have realized together. A group of virtual strangers coming together at the right time, with the right voices, collectively making a difference that will shape the future of not just our profession, but healthcare in this country. What a gift. Thinking on my own experience on the Board, a few speakers from our recent conference summed it up for me well: “Be the Bee” Doyin Richards A honey bee does not waste time trying to convince a fly that sh&t tastes like sh&t. They focus on what they can influence and build. The most powerful force in influencing change in equity and anti-racism is the white ally. Build the hive. Since joining the Board we’ve realized record membership numbers, the most inclusive and intentionally representative Board in association history, built the first DEI micro-credential of it’s kind, navigated a global pandemic and possible end of the association and made a decision on who we are and where we stand as an association in a climate of systemic racism and social disparities. “Play like a Queen.” Anna Frazier Be the Queen in the game of chess - the most important piece on the board. She may be given great power, but her strength is in her ability to alternate between progress and defense. Think two steps ahead, while never forgetting where you came from. Know your end goal, don’t be afraid to take risks, listen along the way, and bring others with you. I give tremendous credit to the Board leaders who invited me to the table. Who had the foresight and intention to seek out a new voice and experience. And then trust me in leading us into our future. “Don’t be a D&ck” Doyin Richards Empathy is not the same thing as compassion. Compassion inspires action. Know who you are and what you stand for. Don’t be afraid to look in the mirror. Show up, even when you don’t want to. Facilitate joy. No matter what room or environment we were in, I felt this at my core, collectively, with this Board. And that is the greatest accomplishment and gift of them all. In a profession where we are constantly told we aren’t good enough, that we need to do more, where the pressures of an entire organization can sit on your shoulders, working with the AAPPR Board of Directors and the incredible Staff has been the most validating and rewarding experience of my career. Thank you for the memories. Never lose sight of the future.

One thing I am most excited about at Foundation for Excellence is our alumni— they truly energize me for so many reasons. They are living examples of the success of our mission to transform lives, and their achievements continue to inspire us all. a. Mission Success: Our alumni embody the success of FFE's mission. They are the proof that education can transform lives, and they demonstrate the power of opportunity and determination. b. Professional Excellence: Our alumni have excelled in diverse fields, from technology and engineering to medicine and even the Indian Administrative Services. Their accomplishments are a testament to their hard work and dedication. c. Social Responsibility: Beyond their professional success, our alumni have developed into responsible citizens who give back to society and FFE in numerous ways. Their involvement in the "Circle of Giving" is particularly inspiring, as they support the next generation of scholars with generosity and commitment. d. Role Models: As role models, our alumni inspire others to pursue excellence and strive for success. They lead by example, showing the world what can be achieved through education, perseverance, and community. I am extremely proud of our alumni and their involvement in the "Circle of Giving." Their dedication to giving back and supporting others is what makes FFE's mission not just a goal but a thriving reality. Together, we will continue to transform lives and foster excellence.
