What are some rewards of professional service?

The most obvious reward is the networking and sharing of ideas and creative solutions developed through conversations with colleagues.  These enrich your program as well as the profession.  However, I value the friendships above all else.

        I love horse racing.  My father used to train harness horses, so I grew up on the backstretch.
