Last weekend the Armstrong McGuire team was busy at our yearly retreat and internal strategy meetings. On Sunday and Monday, we learned, laughed, and reflected on our work and processes. One throughline to many of our discussions was diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), why it is important as a value that each of us and the company holds, and how it impacts our work.
“To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven” - Ecclesiastes 3:1 and revisited in The Byrd’s 1965 hit song “Turn! Turn! Turn! 2023 is a new season for me. I quietly retired in December and now, I look to the future with excited anticipation for new adventures. The big question is what to do when you stop working and suddenly have time, space, and a blank calendar.
One of the things I enjoy most about my profession is getting to observe and learn from people across the nonprofit sector. Because we are often privy to information shared by board and staff members that might not otherwise surface, our consultants get a front row seat to what is working and what isn’t. And let me tell you, there are some common threads regardless of the size, budget, or mission of an organization.
Another year around the sun begins. I, like many of you, am taking time this month to reflect on the past year and plan for the year ahead. For me, this new year happens to kick off with a change in employment. And as I wrap up my first week at Armstrong McGuire the first words that come to mind are, “I think I’ve found my people.”
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
