 » Executive Summary: Stan Bissey

#### My 3 goals for 2013

1. Take better care of myself.
2. Treat others with more kindness.
3. Accept what I cannot change.

Treat others with more kindness.

Accept what I cannot change.

#### What I do when I’m not at work

Fight gravity and heredity at the gym, travel, and spend time with my nephews

#### Who I’m following on Twitter

What’s Twitter?

#### The best advice I ever got

If you’re ready for change and those around you are not, you’re wasting their time and yours.

#### On my desk right now

A picture of me and my partner, Lucas, 2013 DELP applications, 2014 annual budget draft, annual conference schedule draft

#### If I weren’t doing this, I’d…

… manage political campaigns or sell residential real estate.
