Over and over and over in my life, when I have had to make a decision, and I have decided to do the right thing, I have been affirmed that you cannot go wrong by doing the right thing.
It happened again this week. I am on the Board of Directors for Catholic Charities, Diocese of Lubbock http://cclubbock.org/. Our executive director was at the Catholic Charities USA http://catholiccharitiesusa.org/ conference last week.
This week, on Tuesday, she extended an invitation to the board members to attend the Lubbock United Way http://www.unitedway-lubbock.org/ mid-session reporting luncheon, today, Thursday. It was a late invitation: she had been out of town, and was only getting caught up. Catholic Charities, Diocese of Lubbock is a United Way partner agency. Our board members try to be supportive, but sometimes, a last minute invitation like this does not allow for calendar adjustments.
As it was a bit of a late invitation, it is understandable that most of the board members who replied mostly sent their regrets. I am in a situation in which I can sometimes be flexible about such activities, so I told my supervisor I wanted to attend. And, I did attend. I am so glad I did. Only one other board member attended. Although the executive director could have handled it, it would have been embarrassing to me that the agency had no support or representation except our executive director at this luncheon..
So, I am glad that the other board member and I did the right thing.
