VHP Milestone: The First Community Advisory Board Meeting!
June 26, 2013 by royzelman
Today was a great moment for the Vassar Haiti Project.
The first Community Advisory Board was held in NY by co-chairs Caryn Halle and Diana Salsberg bringing 8 notable local community members together to create a platform to contribute to the Vassar Haiti Project through their connections, energy, passion to effect the world and financial support. This meeting has been a dream of ours for years, but we could never ‘get to it.’ Student volunteers are amazing, but the time was ripe for community members to collaborate with students and who knows what miracles can happen!
Letting go and putting a dream in someone else’s hands is not an easy task, especially when it is ‘your dream.’ But learning how to give it away, thanks to the Self Expression and Leadership Course has been so important.
Most importantly, you have to share your vision with someone you trust…and no one is better qualified than Caryn, who has been with VHP from the start and who knows and understands our vision and how we work ‘outside the box.’ Thank you Caryn for all that you will be creating for VHP and Haiti.
