"It has been great to have someone to bounce ideas off of or get recommendations from their outside perspective. I am trying to listen and learn as much as I can. While we can't implement every idea right away it is good to know I have those ideas in mind for when I can introduce them. I am sharing the knowledge I get from my mentor with volunteers and board, so they understand it is not just me saying something - it is coming from another source with invaluable experience."
