Board Blog: Listen to my Mother
“I make my lists and list my dates” are words I heard mom every time she would have someone ask her how she could juggle working, advocating for special needs children/adults, painting, raising a teen, managing a husband, and being a Minister’s wife.

The distinct privilege I have had to serve on the CBI Board as President and Past President ends soon after ten years, and I can tell you this organization is the best in the student media business only because of you.

Board Blog: CBI Board involvement has made me a better, experienced media adviser
