Board Meeting

We had a Board meeting today. I gave a report on the summer and we talked about the capital campaign. It was a very positive, upbeat meeting. After the meeting, the Board met without me and then the Board President came to my office to talk to me.

"I can't offer you a contract until we approve it in October, but I can offer you a handshake. And you should get new business cards printed."

Good enough for me.

Executive Director at 26. Not too shabby...

2 years ago, after watching a particularly inspiring episode of Oprah, I defined my dream job, detailed out and wrote it down. Two years later I am here. It is as close to my description as it could possibly be. "Overnight camp with rich history, but that has room to grow. I want to be able to use my creativity and ideas to shape a camp, but that camp should have traditions from years past. Camp should be traditional, rustic, but beautiful and interesting. I would like to be the boss."

I sort of expected to work my way up and maybe by the time I was 40 or 50 I would be at an Executive level. Never mind. I am not patient anyway, I'd rather just have my dreams come true now. I'm still a little dumbfounded by the entire situation, and the past three months, as well as the future ahead hasn't really sunk in yet. Maybe going in blindly is the best option. No fear or stress if you don't know any better...
