Board of trustee members tend to be a cozy bunch — “I’ll join your board if you’ll join mine.” That’s not necessarily a bad thing. The more we understand how others work, play and live in Greater Cleveland — and the more we respect those differences — the better chance we have
of getting things done. That means a stronger, brighter future for our communities.
Cross-pollination is very common, as the most effective influencers tend to cluster. But occasionally, a company or institution may only have a single member sitting on one power board.
