Ever hear someone talk about an enabler? Usually this refers to a person who
allows someone to do something that is not good for them. However, in your
Grange, you should be an enabler for growth in your fellow members.
An enabler will find ways to fill the needs of his or her fellow members.
They will teach others how to make motions, write resolutions, or how to
express themselves to create action. They will take time to show the new
member the ropes of how to get things done in their Grange.
Enablers give recognition to others as a tool to help people grow. They
celebrate achievements of others both inside and out of the Grange. They are
always positive in their outlook. Enablers give encouragement and
suggestions to help and assist to every member.
Become an enabler in your Grange and watch your fellow members create
growth!
