First health competition for district boards
If your daily duties include attending a host of meetings, making many visits, reading voluminous documents and handling various problems, leaving you with irregular meal breaks and little time for relaxation and rest, you stand a good chance of damaging your health.
Many District Board members may be facing such duties. It is therefore crucial for them to pay good attention to their health if they are to serve the community to the best of their abilities.
