Today is my first day at the Partners home office. I've accepted a 12 month contractual position here to help prepare for an upcoming Partnership Summit, implement some new fundraising initiatives, help with the onboarding process of new members of the Partners Worldwide network, and expand the work I did on LEAD's mentoring program by researching other mentoring methods, inquiring with Partners other affiliates around the world to see what inputs are needed, and then develop a transplantable model that can be taught to organizations similar to LEAD all around the world.
Seeing as this is my first day, I should probably not spend too much time on the blog, but given that its been almost four weeks since my last post, I wanted to assure you that I did make it back safe and sound. There are TONS of updates for you on the way, but in the meantime you can check out yours truly enjoying his new desk.
All the best, Derek
