After unpacking my clothes on Sunday, I started at the office Monday morning. I don’t have many work clothes because 1) we wore jeans/casual at the chapter and the home office is business casual, and 2) since I last wore business attire I have lost some weight as a result of giving up gluten so all my old clothes are too big (good problem to have!). Remind me to share later if you’re interested my gluten-intolerant adventure. My colleagues from the chapter went in on a big gift card for me before I left Anyway, work. My first challenge is our social media strategy. I’ve been searching for and reviewing case studies… and not finding one to use as a text book. I looked through Forbes Top 200 Charities (health classification) and surveyed those similar to us. The beauty of it is that we (nonprofits, the Society, folks like me in the space today) get to be the pioneers.
I have always been fanatical about succeeding in structured environments (school, work). Given that my mom’s life has been stolen away from her by multiple sclerosis (and she’s been stolen from us – my grandparents, aunt/uncle, siblings, niece) and that I am privileged to work at the National MS Society (and recently the home office!), I am now officially obsessive.
On a related note I registered and started my Karin's Kids team for the three-day 50-mile Challenge Walk in Southern California September 2010.
