The concept of getting an individual on the crew devoted to bringing order, readability, and ease to that is a deep dream.

At the moment I’m very excited to introduce you to Sydney John-Baptiste.
Sydney’s background is in Well being Sciences, so she has a clear-headed, logical, detail-oriented thoughts, however nonetheless operates on this planet with a full and open coronary heart. In our interview, I used to be amazed at how a lot floor we lined, the relational area between us broad open and energetic.
Kim and Mari had been within the interview too, and once I instructed them (round a large oak desk at our crew retreat) that Sydney was my best choice, they squealed and grabbed one another.
Despite the fact that we had a ton of nice candidates, deep down we knew it needed to be Syd.
It’s already been a month, but it surely appears like way more.
Sydney has applied new programs, helped get us organized round attending occasions. (Anybody want a Firefly speaker? Workshop? An ice breaker? Hit us up!) She’s researching fashions for a membership program we’ve been noodling on, and he or she’s beginning up a collaboration with East Finish Arts to run a free group occasion this winter.
I used to be a bit of apprehensive earlier than hiring her that Firefly can be too chaotic for a brand new individual to wrap their arms round. Then I discovered that Sydney’s final job was as a convention organizer the place she coordinated 9 conferences on the similar time.
I used to be like — OK. We’re good. And we’re.
