Learning about the organization and how it ticks has been my main focus, I want to get a good grasp on how everything links so that I can identify the pain points and opportunities for improvement. As I begin to identify these and take actions to address them you are going to see some changes in how we operate. I hope that you will see and feel the benefit of these changes and enjoy the journey ahead as we evolve.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>I look forward to hearing ideas from you regarding how we can improve!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Andrea Manifold<\/div>\n<div>CEO<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Help us welcome Alison!<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>I\u2019m delighted to announce the arrival of Alison McCormick who will be joining us as Administrative Coordinator reporting to myself.
