Promotion

So I have been at my current job for a little over a year and a half and today I received my second promotion!!!! When I first started at Communities In Schools Houston I was hired to be sort of a go to person. Any time anyone in the Development department needed help with anything I was there to help. I didnt really have a lot of tasks that were my own.

Then after being there for close to six months, I was writing the articles for our internal and external newsletters on a regular basis and was the social media liason. Then our department decided to restructure and decided they needed a database/Raisers Edge person. This person would be responsible for entering all of our gifts into our system, producing and mailing thank you letters and updating the system when necessary. I was asked if I wanted this position and to continue doing the smaller tasks I was already handling. I took and have been doing that for a while now.

Our Communications Coordinator decided to take some time and teach abroad in Chile for a year. Her last day is the beginning of Feb and I have been asked to take her position. I was very pleased and excited as this position is more of what I got my degree in! I will be learning more of the ins and outs in the next month like vendors contacts and that sort of thing and will be focusing on becoming more confident.

I am ready for this challenge and hope to bring something new to the table and work hard at doing the best I can!
