The Definition of Success
I attended the AGA’s 2017 National Leadership Training (NLT)
in Washington, DC a few weeks ago. If you ever have the
chance to attend NLT, I encourage you to do so. It is where
you can meet many federal agency chief financial officers,
inspectors general and other senior members of federal
agencies.
The final speaker of the session was Chip Fulghum,
Deputy Undersecretary of Management of the
Department of Homeland Security. If you ever
have the chance to meet Chip or hear him speak,
do not hesitate to run to his session! He spoke
about the keys to successful leadership.
In Chip’s session, he spoke of four key attributes
of success: Attitude, Communication, Mentoring,
and Service.
Notice that money is not in Chip’s list. Survey after survey shows that salary is
not nearly as important as enjoying what we do. Of course, it doesn’t hurt! But
let’s think about each of those attributes. Do we have a good attitude? Do we
come to our careers with a fresh outlook every day? If we simply enjoy what we
do and profess that attitude toward others, it becomes organic. Our
organizations work better as a team. If we are a ‘Debbie Downer,’ (from an old
Saturday Night Live sketch,) that also pervades. It’s all too easy to be negative. All
of us face adversity daily in some way, shape or form. Chip’s message was to try

to see the positive in things.
He also emphasized communication. If there can be better communication in our organizations, perhaps
there wouldn’t be as many squabbles in the world. In any issue, there’s going to be polarization – you may
have your side and there is always likely someone on an opposite side. If we can find common ground, we
can solve any issue in our organizations, neighborhoods and the country as a whole. Let’s put down our cell
phones, stop with inflammatory tweets and start breaking bread with our neighbors and communicating with
them in more than 140 characters. I’m a fan of Anthony Bourdain’s show on CNN and that is his central
message. We can solve the world’s problems over dinner.
Chip was a big fan of mentoring. In my last message to you, I emphasized that mentoring is about helping
someone achieve by not giving up. I find every opportunity to mentor someone as it gives me hope for the
future. Chip mentioned that mentoring ‘the farm team’ is key to success. Look at what the Red Sox do
continuously. The older and retired players are constantly working with the young kids to help them
succeed. You always see Dwight Evans, Pedro and Luis Tiant working with players to make them better at
what they do.
And then there’s service. We all work for the public, our neighbors, friends and people who we have never
met. Public service is the most honorable profession as we help each other in our own special ways.
My great uncle had an Army-Navy store in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. When I was young, he allowed me to
work in the store. He used to say – “You are successful if you come home at night with $1 in your pocket.”
He fit all of Chip’s attributes even though he was not a public servant, other than serving in World War II.
He was not a rich man – he made enough to be successful. And he loved hiring teenagers or veterans in
town to work in his store.
Let’s take those attributes of Chip’s and apply them to what we do as public servants or serving the public
sector from now on. As my uncle and Chip were in effect saying – it is easy to be successful with the right
attitude, effective communication, being a mentor and through giving just a little bit back.

AGA Boston Chapter Members Partner for Successful Valentines for
Veterans 2017
For a fifth year in a row, Boston AGA Chapter members collaborated with local schools, families, and other
groups to support VA’s Valentines for Veterans program. The purpose of VA’s National Salute to Veteran
Patients Program, of which the Valentines for Veterans is a part, is to pay tribute and express appreciation
to our veterans. Chapter members organized these efforts in late January and early February.
Children, families, and individuals from schools and other programs in Massachusetts and New Hampshire
participated in this year’s collection. More than 4,100 letters, cards, and artwork were prepared and

provided to VA hospitals in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
“We had great success again this year for the Valentines for Veterans,” said Craig Hall, Chapter
member. “As a member of the Coast Guard
Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion, I know
too well how important it is to support those in
our veterans’ hospitals. We again worked with
the men and woman from local Coast Guard
stations, including ST Point Allerton, Hull, Mass,”
added Hall. “We visited classrooms and spent a
few minutes introducing ourselves and thanking
the students for their cards. The enthusiasm of
the children was infectious as they proudly
showed their cards,” concluded Hall.
Member Benjamin Howe organized this year’s effort on behalf of the Boston Chapter. The Chapter would
like to thank Benjamin, as well as members Jane Gustowski, Craig Hall, and Marcia Luciano for participating
in this year’s event and organizing Valentines for Veterans’ programs in their communities.
Community Service Notes
The Community Service Committee is again collecting donations at the March 9, 2017 Professional
Development Training at Bentley University. Donation can be dropped off near the registration desk.
These donations will be used to benefit following agencies in our area:
The Lions Club is collecting used eyeglasses;
St. John’s Food for the Poor Program will receive non perishable food items;
Interfaith Social Services in Quincy will get the gently used Business attire;
Pets in Need (www.petsinneedanimalrescue.org.) will receive the pet supplies; and
A more detailed description of these programs follows. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this
matter.
Lions Clubs International Eyeglass Recycling Campaign:
Millions of children and adults in developing nations lack access to basic eye care services and
corrective lenses. Poor vision profoundly affects their quality of life. For children, vision loss can lead to
failure in school, delays in development, learning disabilities and even juvenile delinquency. For adults,
uncorrected vision can lead to unemployment and the inability to support a family. Seniors with vision loss
are limited in performing daily activities, depriving them of an independent lifestyle.
Throughout the year, Lions, Leos and other volunteers collect used eyeglasses for donation to Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers that are located around the world. The used eyeglasses are cleaned and classified by
prescription. Trained Lions volunteers and other organizations hosting optical missions in developing
countries then distribute the glasses to those in need.
Non Perishable Food Donations:
Donations of non perishable food items will go to the food pantry operated by St. John’s Food for the
Poor Program in Worcester. This program motto is “No man, woman, or child should ever be hungry.” This
program operates both a soup kitchen and food pantry. Information about their programs can be found on their
website http://www.stjohnsfoodforthepoor.org/
Clothing Donations:
This year the committee is also collecting gently used Business Attire. Donations should be clean, pressed
and ready to wear. Some appropriate items include: skirts, dresses, blouses, pantsuits, men’s suits, dress

ence—collection of items for area charities..
May 2017 Volunteer for Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund Memorial Day flag garden
shirts, slacks, ties, shoes, etc. They will then be given to the Career Closet of Interfaith Social Services in
Quincy. Please check out their website at http://www.interfaithsocialservices.org/network/career-closet .
Pet Supplies:
Pets In Need is a small adoption program run privately by volunteers who have joined together to save
unwanted and abandoned cats and dogs. They are strictly no-kill and the organization’s main goal is to take
in the animals from other rescues and shelters that would otherwise be euthanized as a result of behavior
problems, overpopulated shelters, or financial burden. All donations and adoption fees go directly to the
animals; Pets In Need is officially 501c3.
Beginning in 1997 and thanks to the wonderful group of supporters that seem to multiply each year, Pets In
Need has grown to help more and more animals. Although the rescue program does not have a shelter
facility (due to lack of funds), volunteers who foster the rescued cats and dogs are based in Dracut,
Chelmsford, and Somerville, MA and Nashua, Pelham, and Amherst, NH.
Pets In Need web address is www.petsinneedanimalrescue.org.
Donations are gratefully accepted on behalf of the cats and dogs in foster care. Here are some items from
their “wish list”:
Cat Food – When considering the nutritional needs of the cats in foster care, Friskies canned
food and Purina One dry adult cat food are preferred.
Cat Treats – The cats love any kind of treat!
Clumping Cat Litter
Dog Food – When considering the nutritional needs of the dogs in foster care, Purina and
Beneful are preferred.
