<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Two weeks ago, just before our recent Think & Drink with Eula Biss, I should have been mingling with guests at the Alberta Rose Theatre. Instead, I
 found myself standing back and watching as several Oregon Humanities board members moved through the theater talking with guests and friends. It was encouraging and motivating to see board members greet audience members and one another, engage in conversation,
 and demonstrate by their presence and comportment how they feel about the work Oregon Humanities is doing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Since the beginning of my acquaintance with Oregon Humanities' board, I have been struck by how engaged, open, and friendly they are, as a group and as individuals. Meetings of
 the whole board and of smaller work groups and committees usually feel alive and productive rather than rote or compulsory. Much of this is due to the particular combination of people on the board and to the care they have for what OH is trying to do: to get
 people all over the state thinking and talking across differences about questions we share. The biggest shared question we regularly explore and act on might be "how we can live better together?" OH board members seem committed in an ongoing way to thinking
 through the key parts of that question: the "we," the "better," and the "together."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 and areas of expertise: geography, race, age, language, educational background, profession. If, as an organization, we hope to invite diverse perspectives, our board and staff must, in a perpetually self-refreshing way, do the same<o:p></o:p></span></p>
