To Broad Street Food Pantry:
I am very excited to be working with your board! Just to start off, I'll talk just briefly about myself. My name is Aubrey and I'm currently studying Human Development and Family Science with the intention to some day work in a nonprofit, believe it or not! In the past, I've worked a lot with kids, mainly doing things like Sunday School, Vacation Bible Schools on mission trips and peer counseling. I spent this past Spring Break in New Orleans helping with the Katrina relief. Although these are all good experiences, I haven't had a good look into how a nonprofit really works. I did some hours at Agora Ministry's Little Gems Child Care (which is actually on West Broad Street) this past summer, but same thing there as well...I don't how all the decisions are made or how to go about executing said decisions.
That being said...I am very excited to learn about how everything works at the Pantry! Like I alluded to in the previous paragraph, I am really interested in finding out what kind of decisions are discussed in board meetings and who handles each type of situation. I'd also like to take a look at what kind of skill are needed in order to be an effective board member!
However, more than anything, I look forward to learning about those things that I couldn't possibly (as I sit here typing on my computer) anticipate learning about.
Can't wait to start with you all.
Sincerely,
Aubrey Houston
