The Hole in My Dream.

As I prepare my position to run autonomously without me next week, it stirs me to think what First Choice would be like with autonomous systems in place.

In a dream state, it would look something like this:

Clients would be specifically clear about services needed and schedule their appointments accordingly so.

Centers would be filled with multiple volunteers for all open hours of the day.

Staff could focus on program improvements and team development.

Grants would automatically renew, and new grants would need only two details: Org name and dollar amount needed (BIG dreams from this girl).

Event participants would multiply as prior attendees invited ALL their friends.

Event sponsors would multiply as prior sponsors make First Choice so appealing ALL their contacts would sponsor too!

Monthly donations would automatically increase as well as subscribers to our newsletters, and community team members.

Though much of that is really a dream and none especially realistic, there is a hole in that entire picture. And it's a BIG GAPING hole.

Relationships are not autonomous.

And everything we do at First Choice revolves around relationships.
