For good things once a year is not enough. Why do so many of us only eat turkey once a year? Or pumpkin pie? I’ve no idea! It’s surely not rational. These are special foods we value and take great delight in. Yet we get into a bad habit of thinking on auto pilot. If it’s not Thanksgiving, the idea of roasting a turkey or making cranberry sauce doesn’t even enter most or our heads.

Many factors can account for a lapsed gift.

Reviewing scholarship applications can be one of the most complicated processes to manage during scholarship season. Reviewers are a critical piece to the award cycle, and scholarship administrators are dependent on them to complete the rest of the scholarship process. If reviews are delayed, awards are delayed, which ultimately means students do not get the funds they need on time.

At GPA Headquarters the staff have identified a tendency of mine to address items in groups of three. This has evolved into the staff commenting “With Mike, there are always three things.” At first, I was a little defensive, thinking that I could not be that predictable and it wasn’t always three, was it? Then I changed my thinking and realized this was not something to shy away from, rather I could “lean in” to this.
