Brent Morris: Navigating Board Service and Personal Growth

I do suggest people become a part of boards and advisory councils, that type of thing. If there is an issue, a topic in your community, in your area, that you have an opportunity to be a part of, it's a chance you have to be a part of.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to serve on a board or advisory council? In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Brent Morris, the Vice President and former President of Montana's Peer Network, shares his journey and offers practical advice for those interested in board service. As a blind individual from Montana, Brent’s story is both inspiring and enlightening.
His involvement with Montana's Peer Network has not only helped him manage his own mental health and substance abuse challenges but also empowered him to support others in their recovery journeys. Brent talks about the importance of being a good listener and making decisions that benefit the entire community. He also highlights the commitment and responsibilities that come with serving on a board, including understanding the legal liabilities involved.
However, it's not all about duty; Brent discusses how board service can lead to personal growth, such as improving communication skills and learning to manage anxiety. If you're curious about how serving on a board can impact your life and community, Brent’s experiences provide valuable insights. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to make a difference while also growing personally and professionally.
