A December Reminder: Value the People Beside You.
I have always loved the month of December and the great sense of family and community that comes with it. This can be such a busy time of year on so many levels. In the nonprofit sector we have a very heavy focus on late November and December giving, events, activities and donor cultivation work. With all the busy-ness, we can spread ourselves thin relationally. Even in the midst of relational activity, it can be easy to overlook spending time with our closest staff and volunteers.
