“After 15 years working at Claudia Taylor “Lady Bird” Johnson (CTJ) High School in San Antonio and an equal number on a drum corps staff, I have learned a few key points regarding the value and importance of engaging parent and alumni support.
- Delegating is vital — “many hands make light work.”
- A person who feels appreciated will always do more.
- Entrusting others to manage a project builds ownership in the organization.
- Solve problems by harnessing the talent of many smart people with great ideas.
- As a director, be willing to admit you don’t know everything, and someone else may have a better solution to a problem.
- You are never alone — when you engage a team of parents, you share successes and failures.”
