Collaborating
Rob McCann, Executive Director
One of our four core values is collaboration. I’ve really seen that in action in recent weeks as we’ve moved into our newly remodeled offices. Change can be difficult and transitions always hold unexpected surprises, but one of the surprises this time is how smoothly things have gone. Of course many staff members have worked very hard to ensure that all the staff were ready for the change, knew what to expect, knew whom to ask if they had questions, and I was aware that that was the case. Nonetheless I can’t help but be delighted by the spirit of forward-lookingness I’ve witnessed among all these people settling into their new offices. People are helping each other out in all kinds of ways, and many are getting a chance to meet Catholic Charities staff members whom they rarely encountered when we were scattered all over the city.
I’m curious and eager to see what the next months will bring in terms of increased networking, shared resources, and general synergy and goodwill. I feel as if I’m watching the definition of collaboration unfolding before my eyes.
