Integrity Board Gathered in Pasadena

The first experience was landing at an airport that was a pleasant step back in time. Burbank's Bob Hope Airport is, to say the least, quaint. The modern necessities of security device seem anachronistic and take up more than their fair share of space here.


After about 30 minute shuttle ride I arrived in Pasadena. Thursday we met from 4-6 PM and on Friday and Saturday from 9-5.

Around this was some time for more informal discussions among the newly formed board about out roles and reponsibilities took place. For me this was especially useful and Getchen Renfro, Susan McCann, Chair and Vice-Chair of the Stakeholders Council and I sat down to examine our own roles and the relationships we can build.
