Even though our blog has been quiet for the first half of 2015, we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes advancing our projects and preparing to take Hayven to the next stage in its growth. Here’s just some of what we’ve been up to so far during this year’s 1st and 2nd quarters.
ANOTHER MEETING OF THE MINDS
In January, the board of directors gathered for our annual meeting, held in San Marino, CA. Highlights of our time together included an extended lunch with Paul Haaga, who has been a major influence on two of our founding directors and is among Hayven’s earliest supporters; and a wrap party (pictured below).

Now that Paul has completed an unexpected gig of almost one year in duration as interim CEO of NPR (where he continues his ongoing role as one of its 5 trustees), he’s become more available to Carole Schabow, Hayven’s founder and acting CEO, continuing his role of trusted advisor begun in 2004 while he and Carole were at the prestigious investment firm Capital Research and Management Company (home of the American Funds), where Paul was Chairman.
“In keeping with Paul’s reflexive generosity, during January’s post-holiday lull he made time to meet Hayven’s newest director from Phoenix, Christine Mantel,” Carole says. “I rely on Paul in the same way I rely on Dan Crippen (former Director of the Congressional Budget Office and recent Executive Director of the National Governors Association) for frank, incisive feedback and business advice to guide me and Hayven from launch to stable sustained growth. Their effect on our formation is indelible and inestimable.”
