Thank you, John! by Maura Wellington https://padlet.com/mw150/yhptqg0ozpskzs8v To thank John for his years of dedicated service and commitment to the mission of the Foundation en-us 2023-05-09 12:45:41 UTC 2023-06-13 12:52:30 UTC hello@padlet.com Dear John, https://padlet.com/mw150/yhptqg0ozpskzs8v/wish/2600406150 Very few people in NH have filled as many roles at NHCF as you: collaborator, professional advisor, donor, regional advisor, regional advisory chair, treasurer, IC member, board member. Your dedication to the mission, unflagging support, and insightful questions and advice have helped our foundation thrive and grow. Thank you for all of that and for your friendship. We expect you to stay close for another few decades!
All my best,
Dick ]]> 2023-05-22 17:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mw150/yhptqg0ozpskzs8v/wish/2600406150 Dear John, I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from you during the last several months. I so appreciate that despite your considerable knowledge and wisdom related to NHCF's work, you remain so interested to hear what others have to say, even newbies like me! Thank you for everything you have done for the NHCF, and the good work you will continue to do in our New Hampshire community. - Sarah MD https://padlet.com/mw150/yhptqg0ozpskzs8v/wish/2600543459 2023-05-22 19:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mw150/yhptqg0ozpskzs8v/wish/2600543459 https://padlet.com/mw150/yhptqg0ozpskzs8v/wish/2603819652 Dear John,
What a joy it has been to serve with you for the past six years.  I appreciate and respect your perspectives.  You challenge us to see things in new and different ways, a quality I admire in a board member.  Your steadfast commitment to the Foundation is awe inspiring and I commend you for the value you place on the donor.  Many of our best board conversations have been the result of these admirable attributes.
I will sincerely miss serving with you as I consider you to be more than just a colleague, but a friend, too. Maybe there is a golf date in our future.   :-)
With all my best wishes,
Barbara]]> 2023-05-24 21:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mw150/yhptqg0ozpskzs8v/wish/2603819652 https://padlet.com/mw150/yhptqg0ozpskzs8v/wish/2614693043 Dear John,
Governance experts invariably argue that outstanding directors exhibit the following attributes:  independent judgement, a willingness to explore difficult issues and inconvenient truths, knowledge and expertise, respectfulness and collegiality, reliability and preparedness, and an unflinching commitment to mission.  Those sure sound like you, John.  It has been a great pleasure to serve with you on this board.  Very best wishes,
Joe Morone

It has been an absolute pleasure working along side you with NHCF these last few months. I only wish we could have overlapped on the board longer!   It is clear the impact you have had in the organization, board, and community. Your thoughtful comments and wisdom will be missed. I have no doubt that you will continue to have an important impact on our community. Thank you for all you do! 
Very best wishes, 
Kristin Girald
