Leadership Council and Cross Country
Today turned out very well! At work, as part of the Grant Thornton Leadership Program that I am taking part in, one of the areas of the program is to take on a leadership role to give back to the firm. I was asked to co-chair the IT Leadership Council, a group of my peers and the IT Senior Leadership Team. It is the responsibility of the group to successfully execute the strategic initiatives that are part of the Fiscal Year 2010 Strategic Plan. I was pretty stressed about the kick-off meeting that we had today becuase we didn’t have a lot of time to pull together the necessary information and I didn’t know how I was going to present it, but things came together in the end, and the meeting went very well. WHEW!
On a funner note, today was Brittany’s first Cross Country meet of the season. She was very excited but a little tentative becuase her knee was hurting her a little bit yesterday and she wasn’t sure how well she would do under these circumstances. The 8th graders run 2 miles which is an adjustment for her 1.5 mile races she ran last year. In the end, her knee was fine, but her foot started hurting and she didn’t have the kind of race she wanted, but did well for the first race of the year. They ran against Fischer which is the middle school that many of her friends who went to Still last year are going now. Great job, Brittany! Keep up the GREAT work!
In other notes, Brittany had her first day of Honors Chorus today, and Kirstyn had her first day of chorus as well. Both are very excited to be singing. Angela actually walked over to the middle school today to see Brittany run! It was slow and a little painful, but she is becoming more mobile and her back, although still in a lot of pain, is getting a little better. We keep up our prayers for her!
