A closed chapter is not a disservice to the world, it is a clear path paved for future generations. Throughout history struggle has been romanticized, portraying that a journey through hardships is the ultimate mark of success... We are here to rewrite the narrative and dismental systems and practices that foster exploitation and injustice. For future generations. In this present moment, we stand against the struggles our forefathers faced in the past.

June is the month in which Tom Skinner was born 82 years ago and passed away 30 years ago. At a time of declining civility, rising racial terror, political upheaval, and threats to democracy, there is much that people of faith and diverse races today can learn from Tom Skinner’s teaching and practice of racial healing and commitment to biblical social justice.

Clay was a giant of a man who influenced people, organizations, and our system of capitalism as a whole. In working with Aileron, I had the opportunity to listen to him speak several times. Here are some of my favorite pieces of wisdom from those occasions: - "The most moral thing anyone can do is to put your capital at risk to create jobs for other people." - "Businesses are platforms for living out your true value system." - "We built a company that we would want to work at. Not a lot of politics, not a lot of autocrats. We liked to treat people the way we wanted to be treated. Be honest, be respectful, and treat others with dignity." - “[When transitioning to a new operating model] You have got to run the business two ways (just like when you buy a new computer and you run the new one, while you still do some things with the old one). It’s the same thing with the business processes. You will continue to push the new processes in, while you refine and remove the old ones. It’s hard work.” - "My largest business mistake was getting into the horse feed business. In the early days, I wasn't about focus. I was jumping from one thing to another." - "[When trying to balance patience and urgency in leading an organization] time is more valuable than you think it is. You have to bring your people along - you can't outrun or outgrow them and be successful." - "Never make a decision until you have to."
We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our founder and chair emeritus, Clay Mathile. He passed peacefully, surrounded by his family on August 26. Clay was a visionary leader, impassioned philanthropist, devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He inspired those around him to see and bring forth the best in themselves. His legacy lives on through the Aileron community.

When we walk, we’re always facing forward, looking toward the future. But what can we actually see? We can see the past. The history we carry with us shapes our choices and paths. So, what if we tried something different? What if we walked backward instead? Walking backward allows us to clearly see the past—our experiences, lessons, and stories. By focusing on what has already happened, we can use that knowledge "to back into the future" or to guide us into the future. But don’t worry—you don’t actually have to walk backward to get to the York County History Center! This idea is powerful. It reminds us that our history is more than just memories; it’s a valuable tool for making better decisions and understanding where we’re headed. At the York County History Center, you can explore the rich history of our county. The past isn’t just preserved; it’s alive and ready to inspire you. As you learn about those who came before us, you can let their stories light your way into the future—without any awkward backward walking! So come to the past, see what it has to offer, and let it guide you as you step forward. At the York County History Center, the future is waiting for you, rooted in the lessons of history. Happy 275th birthday, York County 🎉 #YorkCountyHistoryCenter #History #Future #275thBirthday #BackwardWalking #HistoricalLessons
