Why We All Need to be Mentors
I was watching a Boston Celtics game over the holidays. Isaiah
Thomas is a leader in mentoring young people through the
National Mentoring Partnership, headquartered right here in
downtown Boston. In my mind, there is no better way to
nurture future talent than to be a mentor. Go to their website
http://www.mentoring.org
and read the stories of how they have helped
people succeed for more than 25 years.
In our last month’s Beacon we had a short reminder of our Chapter’s mentoring
program. All of us know someone who is young, talented and wants to achieve,
especially in public service. January is National Mentoring Month, so there is not a
better time to consider taking an hour or so every week or every few weeks to
give someone else the tools that have made you successful in life and in your
career.
In some ways, mentoring is about helping someone achieve by not giving up.
When I was working in the Office of the State Comptroller, a unit manager had in
his cubicle an article about “The Death of I Can’t.” Mentoring allows someone to
say “Yes I can” much easier than saying “I can’t.”
Recently, there was a great Wall Street Journal article about someone who refused
to listen to “I Can’t.” A young mother in South Carolina raised a son with autism
and a metabolic disorder. He needs a feeding tube and has braces on his legs.
When he was 8 years old, he’d be in school with an aide all day as he had frequent
outbursts. The young mother had just finished medical school and had a choice –

continue with her residency or give up her career and home school her son. She gave up her career.
Soon, she discovered that he didn’t read like we all do, from left to right. In essence, he took a picture of a
page in his mind from the center of the page to the top and bottom at the same time, much like a copier.
Because of this breakthrough and with the help of service animals, he started to devour books. Eventually,
her son went to college at the University of South Carolina and graduated with stellar grades – so much so
that he’s headed off to the University of Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship. He credits her example as
propelling him toward public service when he graduates. His mother refused to hear “I Can’t” and perhaps
we have a future AGA member.
Like his mother, we all have an opportunity to help someone else. For me, it was an English teacher in high
school who mentored me and refused to hear “I Can’t.” Every time I am about to do a speech, I look up and
quietly say “thank you” to her. Try being a mentor. It may be the most rewarding thing you do in your
career.

AGA Boston Remembers Julia P. Burns
Our dear friend and colleague, Julia Burns passed away on December 25th after a long and courageous
battle with cancer.
Julie began serving the Commonwealth at the Department of Revenue in 1986, later serving as the Executive
Director of the ANF Central Business Office. Julie joined the Office of the Comptroller in 2002, was
promoted to the Director of Quality Assurance in 2004, and a year later was named Director of the
General Accounting Bureau. Julie was an instrumental figure in AGA over the years, held a CGFM
certification, and was most recently Director at Large (Ex-Officio) of AGA Boston. Whether you knew Julie
through her work at the Office of the Comptroller, AGA, or both; you knew her as a tremendously smart,
dedicated, and caring person.
We will miss you Julie.
AGA Boston has made a donation in Julie’s memory to Zoo New England.
Donations can be sent to:
Zoo New England, 1 Franklin Park Road, Boston, MA 02121.

Holiday Lunch and Charity Fundraiser
AGA Boston Chapter hosted its annual Holiday Party / Charity Fundraiser on December 8, 2016 at
Maggiano’s Little Italy Restaurant. This event is our major annual charitable fundraiser which benefits
Christmas in the City, a local organization that provides a fun-filled party for children (and their parents)
from local homeless shelters.
This year 31 prizes were donated to a raffle including gift certificates, admission tickets to porting events,
museums, and other great prizes. Proceeds from the raffle together with a donation from the AGA Boston
Chapter of one thousand dollars was given to Christmas in the City.
Congratulations to all of the raffle winners and thanks to all who attended and supported this worthwhile
cause.
Upcoming Community Service Event to Benefit Veterans!
The AGA’s Boston Chapter is looking for individuals and groups interested in participating in our Valentines
for Veterans effort for local veterans. Since 1999, the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) Valentines for
Veterans program has helped to brighten the lives of these deserving veterans by providing them with
valentine cards. This effort is now part of VA’s National Salute to Veteran Patients. This program is held
around the week of February 14th each year as our opportunity to say thank you to the more than 98,000
veterans of the U.S. armed services who are cared for every day in VA’s medical facilities. Many of these
veterans receive care at one of the many VA hospitals in New England. For more information about this
