What a year 2023 has been!
⭐ 1 Piece of advice from my grandmother Lois - "Never turn down anything but your coat collar." The risk is always worth it.
⭐ 1 Chapter, "The Sound of Resilience," published in Soul Speak Press' first book of the #DesertsToMountaintops Anthology. Step outside your comfort zone, because you never know where it might lead.
⭐ 8 Amazing people on Team C2 - Jennifer Voshell, Stephanie Santini, CMP, DES, Nicolette Strobing, Tissy Greene, Tonya Stanback, Cookie Walner, CMP, CEM, CMM, CAE, Dana Pinchoff, and Tyra D. Dyson, CMP, DES. I am so lucky to work with the talented association professionals who've joined the team since July of this year and grateful to those who have worked with me before for taking a chance on a small business. Together we are going do great things for the client organizations we serve, the association community, and each other.
⭐ 9 Client organizations serving various professions and industries - #countyengineers #physicaltherapists, #occupationaltherapists, #speechlanguagepathologists, #educators, #meetingprofs #lgbtqiacommunity #cardiologists #firstresponders and more to come!
⭐ 1.5 years since the launch of C2 Association Strategies - I knew the work would be hard, but I didn't truly realize how fulfilling it would be or the exponential growth we'd experience in 2023. The Association of Air Medical Services (AAMS) board gave me the greatest gift when they terminated my contract early on June 21, 2022. Without endings, even those that really hurt and are difficult to understand at the time, we wouldn't have the chance to begin again.
⭐ 1.2 million in gross revenue at the start of 2024 - To me this is hard to believe, and I have to pinch myself every day. To some that may be a small number, but to me that money allows me to hire the best and brightest and invest in C2's future growth. I'm excited to see where we are on December 31, 2024.
⭐ Countless relationships. When I launched on August 1, 2022, I knew that I wanted C2 to be a #peoplefirst organization. I spent my entire career building connections with people and fostering those #relationships. I've really understood the importance and value of those relationships over the last year and half. Every new client has come to C2 as a result of those relationships, so our success is as much yours as it is ours. The outpouring of support is overwhelming, and I am so lucky to work in an industry where we pick each other up and celebrate each other's wins.
THANK YOU for being on this crazy ride with me. I wish you all a happy, healthy, and successful 2024. I look forward to celebrating you as you have celebrated me and C2.
