volunteering for what

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2013.09.12

Because I have so little with which to occupy my time, I'm looking at volunteering for some of the professional associations I belong to. After all, there are four of them and so far I've done little but obtain certificates and sit through seminars. I reckon I can help by beginning to relay some of the things I've done.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.

—Col. Eric G. Kail
