What comes to your mind when you hear those two words? There is one job that without a doubt deserves to be at the top of the list. An elected volunteer or community association board member. So a regular feature of our weekly podcast is a once a month episode devoted to sharing the stories of real life, unsung board heroes and in our eyes a board Hero.
