Hello everyone! I hope everybody had a wonderful week. After my second week at Community Shelter Board, I am settling into my role and feel more confident about my ability to make meaningful contributions to my team. This week, I had the privilege of attending CSB’s annual fundraising event: “Under One Roof,” at Columbus State Community College. Seeing our r+r team’s hard work pay off in real time was incredible. Before the event, I attended my first all-staff meeting, where I got to hear all the planning and hard work that went into making this fundraising event happen. We also got into groups and brainstormed ideas for solving homelessness while identifying our team’s strengths and the best ways to collaborate. I am excited for our group to follow up at our scheduled coffee meetup at First Watch on June 27th to discuss further and develop our themes. At Under One Roof, my colleague Jeremih and I were tasked with greeting and guiding guests through registration. I am happy to say our guests and team were proud of the impression we made on our donors; the event was an overall success. This week, I have continued to complete tasks regarding our upcoming Founder’s Awards event and other assignments, such as developing our quarterly data highlights. 

This upcoming week, I am excited to begin my new assignments as I will be collaborating with the R+R team to coordinate logistics surrounding our upcoming 2024 Founder’s Awards. Given our R+R’s success in coordinating our Under One Roof event, I am grateful to have their fresh perspective and ideas when it comes to planning around our venue and other event details. Attached is an e-blast of the “Save the Date” flier I created for this upcoming event!
