Hello Everyone! I hope everyone had a great and productive week!

As stated in my prior blogs, one of my most significant responsibilities this summer is helping with CSB’s big, annual Founder’s Awards Celebration this upcoming September. This week, I have been working with the logistics surrounding the event and have been in contact with important people who all contribute to making events like this successful. I have been given tasks such as booking our photographer, catering, venue, parking arrangements, etc. I am grateful to have such a supportive team at CSB. My coworker, Chad, arranged a meeting with me and helped me work through all the essential things that go into venue planning, such as audio and visual, table arrangements, parking costs, etc. 

I am also excited to announce that all of our chosen honorees for the event have responded to their offer and are willing to accept their reward and be recognized at our event. It is a great honor to earn these awards, and I am excited to meet our partners who have done such impactful work toward ending homelessness. 

We are working with NBC4 to arrange interviews with each of our honorees to capture their work and highlight their individual passion and contribution to our mission of ending homelessness. Right now, and for the upcoming weeks, a part of my job is to help document our honorees’ availability, including their preference of location and other details for their interview. I am currently coming up with thought-provoking and unique interview questions for each of our honorees that will help capture their impactful role in the community. For the upcoming week, I am excited to meet with Amber from our r+r team to brainstorm designs for the new landing page we are working on for our website to highlight our 2024 honorees!
