2 things:
Joanna’s promotion to executive director - new role gets more day-to-day tasks, more communication w/ partners, will run meetings, have more credibility w/ talking with partners and managing
Cindy’s promotion to director of operations!!! Great teacher, great website designer (she added the pineapple!!)!! New role - more responsibilities w/ website management, helping w/ meetings + recruiting
Eric’s stuff:
Will be off to college (in 50 days)!! It’s been more than 2 years, but he’s not resigning and will be keeping his role as president/supreme leader woohoo. Will take more responsibilities w/ sponsors and will expand the organization more. Daily operations will be given more to Cindy + Joanna
