“Let’s move.”
Whenever I hear those two words, I know it is going to be a good afternoon at ALSAC St. Jude.
I work on the sixth and top floor of the National Executive Office, and the floor is lined with cubes of all sizes, all decorated differently. The cubes are roomy, but if you want to stretch out and really focus, you find a different spot to work in. Or at least the Operations and Budget team does.
As ALSAC St. Jude approaches becoming a billion dollar business, there is a lot going on in Field Operations. We want each region and program to be stable in their fundraising dollars, but also improve events and practices, as well as adding in some new ones, to get us to a legendary mark. Where I typically do more work for the executive office, I am now doing more work with the event reps, regions, and programs.
I have now been at ALSAC St. Jude for a year and three months, and I can tell that my work and devotion are being rewarded. I am trusted with important documents and attending brainstorming meetings in place of my supervisor. My input is desired on how to connect with St. Jude Play Live, and I am getting to lead the Dream Home team in “pre-mortem” planning for their events.
Additionally, whenever Burton, my boss, says those two words and leads us to a bigger space, bringing Post-It notes along, that means we will be thinking of new programs for Field Operations for the remainder of the day. This has be the best part of my job – brainstorming. Having my opinion actually matter in creating the future of fundraising at a place I care so deeply about… That’s amazing. I am one proud #journointern.
