Each month I meet for lunch with Willow Brook’s 42 staff leaders. These are the executive directors, managers, department heads, and others who lead this great Willow Brook ministry. They hail from all three Willow Brooks, and we rotate the luncheon locations among the three communities. We eat really well on those days, for we are the beneficiaries of an ongoing “battle of the chefs.” Our culinary teams delight in delivering to our tables scrumptious vittles each month. These savory luncheons are a well deserved perk for my hard-working team. At one of our recent gatherings, as we were feasting and before I jumped into the day’s agenda, I scanned the room. I looked with pride at all the beautiful people who have joined my team. They are good people, with ethics and values, and the highest motives. As I looked from table to table, I saw people who demonstrate each day a deep and abiding commitment to Willow Brook and the people we serve. Unless there is some activity under the radar, I am not aware of a single leader who is reading the help wanted ads. To a person, I believe there is long-term if not life-long commitment to Willow Brook.  This makes for stable leadership. On every front, we have leaders who are dedicated to making it all happen. No wonder Willow Brook is doing so well. I hope you are having a good winter. Cherish these frigid days, for each is an immeasurable gift. Daffodils and tulips will be popping up soon enough.
With love to all,
Larry Harris, CEO
