![]() Last year several of my peers and my leadership team joined me for a #PolarPlunge and let's just say it was a memory I won't soon forget. In recent years our Co-Chairs and senior leaders have also committed to a fun (some would even say crazy & wild) event, once we achieve our team goal. Every year the BMO Team sets big and audacious giving goals to support organizations making a difference across our communities. Employee Giving campaign over the last two years. I had the distinct pleasure of serving as Co-Chair for our U.S. #Impact #ChildSafety #Mentorship #Leadership #Careers #MentalHealth #BoysandGirlsClubsofAmerica We love our kids and it’s an honor & privilege to serve them! Send me a message if you would like to learn more about this movement. Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. ![]() This is a large number but we spent a large portion of our time together as Trustees discussing how do we help more young people! The need across this country is enormous and it truly takes a village to continue to create positive change. □□ In a typical year our Club’s serve 3.6 million youth. That could be college, skilled trades but it all starts with having a plan. □□ There is an expectation that all Club kids track to graduate high school and have a plan for the future. □□ Our Clubs specialize in providing a safe, positive and inclusive environment for all…Meaning all kids can be kids, and comfortable in their own skin. ![]() There are several things that stuck with me that I want to amplify across this network: This team is on fire for our youth and we will not let anything get in the way of #BuildingGreatFutures. ![]() You might think that if you’ve been to one conference, you’ve seen it all - WRONG! Over just a few days I learned a lot about the movement, I was inspired by those who have spent their lives supporting our youth and I left with a real understanding of what is needed for us to go higher. This week I had an opportunity to attend my second National Boys & Girls Clubs of America conference as a Trustee.
