​Inspired by a passion for history and a deep respect for the service and sacrifice of the U.S. Military, brothers John Nowakowski of Swanton and Jeff Nowakowski of Sylvania formed The Last Patrol Museum in 1991. Incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 1995, the group’s mission is to develop a military museum and national youth training facility in Toledo. For several years, the Last Patrol has had a very close working relationship with the Commodore Perry Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets and Navy League Cadets.

​Organizations host events for a variety of reasons. Begin by asking “WHY are we holding the event?”  Your answer is a great gauge to determine if the event aligns with your organization’s mission and goals. Once, the “WHY” is established spend some time processing the following questions.

Connect IT is an opportunity for Information Technology professionals to come together and share ideas. Hosted by EPIC Toledo, Tech Toledo, and ProMedica the event was held at Paramount Auditorium in Maumee early last week.

Many friends and colleagues think our work in board governance is fascinating.
 
They want to know about the extremes – from the strange case studies and the “no he didn’t” examples of bad boardroom behavior to what ultimately brings a board or executive director to call us and seek help.
 
They ultimately want to know which issues we see most often and if their own board experience is “normal.”
