Testimonial from Diane Saint-Pierre
Diane has two pieces of advice for new retirees who wish to get involved. “First, you must consider what moves you—the activity or topic that interests you most. Then, make sure you do not say yes to too many things. You have to accept that our energy level is not what it was in our 20s.” Wise advice for continuing to build an inclusive society!
Testimonial
Diane Saint-Pierre notes: “The fields of health and housing have changed tremendously over 45 years. I hesitated to rejoin the Board, fearing I would be out of my depth. But the reality is that everyone’s input helps. In addition, our experience and contacts allow us to make a suggestion or point in the right direction.”
Having a memory of the good and bad moves attempted by the players over time is very useful. “One of the great satisfactions of serving on a Board is the opportunity to see other people adopt an idea I brought forward and to watch it take shape… and work! It is rewarding.”
