November 2020 - With Gratitude
As we head into Thanksgiving Week and with it, the holiday season, I want each member of the WID community to know how grateful I am to lead such an incredible organization. The year so far has not been easy for anyone in our sector, as we have had to all play a role in our own versions of what I call, “The Great Pivot of 2020.” It has been necessary to find ways to be reactive, yet positive, and to be flexible while maintaining the integrity of our lives and work. At WID, we’ve worked hard to continue offering you the very best in programming for the fundraising sector, and to find ways to bring our community together in the virtual realm. That’s why I’m particularly excited about the launch of our new Career Advisors program. It’s going to be a wonderful opportunity to connect and to develop professionally. I encourage members to apply today! If you’re feeling led to be an Advisor and have been in the field for at least 10 years, we’d welcome your expertise as well. And we look forward to coming together again on December 8th at our annual holiday gathering. We have some fun things planned and look forward to connecting and celebrating with you!
I hope that as we look ahead to Thanksgiving this week, you’ll all be able to step back and take at least a few moments for yourselves and simply rest and reflect. As Coronavirus numbers continue on an uptick, we cannot avoid that reality, but please know that everyone at WID wishes you good health, safety, and success as we continue navigating the new normal.
Onward, Upward, Forward,
