Trustee Duties Annual Checklist

9/30/2020

Being a Trustee is more than just a job. Trustees have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries and carry out the terms of the Trust. Unfortunately, many times we come across Trustees who have no idea what their duties are and don’t carry them out. This leads to personal liability for the Trustees and possible diminution of the Trust’s assets. Here is what the Trustee should do in the first quarter of each year (or now if these steps have never been taken before).

What’s the least comfortable you’ve ever been during a discussion with a prospect?

We've all been on sales calls where things have gotten a little awkward. It is probably not difficult at all for you to recall a time when the prospect you were talking to was acting uninterested…or maybe even a little bit hostile. How did you respond?

Then there is the time it takes to plan, shop for local, fresh, organic foods, and cook healthy meals.

Committed to Business, Committed to Each Other

9/1/2020

Fall 2020
As many of us are enjoying the fall season at reduced-capacity festivals, farms and restaurants, I reflect on how these past six months have tested our mettle. Now more than ever, the commitment to our businesses is a testament to the economic strength of our county and region.

While our behavior has changed, our support for one another has not. Our members have made extraordinary efforts to retain employees, patronize one another and donate to charitable organizations. While this crisis has created great opportunity for a number of our members, others suffered significant loss. You have demonstrated your commitment to each other in extraordinary ways, coming together and sharing your time, your best practices, creating new services, offering reduced rates and member deals and engaging in mastermind groups, including the Entrepreneur Roundtable, Not-for-Profit mastermind, Business Strategies and Tactics Forum for business owners and the recently announced Morris Chamber Mastermind to exchange ideas during this challenging time and beyond.
