An Organization Is Nothing Without A GREAT Team
On September 7, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. the Fashion Umbrella Foundation had its first debriefing meeting on behalf of its annual fundraiser Baltimore Fashion Week. The President/Executive Producer, Sharan Nixon, yup me, was extremely nervous to
even host a debriefing meeting of any kind as it relates to the event, but I
knew in order to continue to have a great production voices needed to be heard.
The meeting started with an agenda of course. I mean who facilitates a meeting without an agenda? Not only did the meeting start on time it was very informative.
Because I am not able to clone myself just yet, my team is always here to be my eyes and especially my ears. I received a lot of feedback regarding this year's event, Baltimore Fashion Week, August 14-17, 2014, and some of it I was surprised by and some of it I was not..
The agenda discussed the following areas of production. Since you were not there, I would like to share with you the agenda topics. I have taken the liberty to list them below.
My TEAM is the absolute "bees knees" and I will protect them to the end of time. The team we have now will be here for the duration of the organization because I TRUST THEM. The Word TRUST has not been an easy word for me to say or actually believe in since 2009, when intellectual property was compromised by someone that I trusted. It feels good to have 16 people in my organization that are as committed to the cause as I am, but are not afraid to provide constructive critiques that are only provided for the betterment of the organization, NOT ME.
From the team meeting several meetings will take place that are directly related to our upcoming events. Keep in mind these meetings are not associated or to be confused with education sessions or seminars facilitated by the Foundation.
My intention for writing this blog was to try my best and keep you, my reader, and subscriber to my blog informed of what is going on with me and what is important in my life.
I am a woman that is not ashamed to tell it like it is, so in the closing of this blog post, I want you to know that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, ADORE, AND TRUST MY TEAM.
Yours Always,
Sharan XOXO
