This past year, I was encouraged to chair the Education Committee for the Parkville Area Chamber of Commerce. I was also told that I was chosen for my position because I was an idea man. I do have ideas, and I like testing them, but I'm not 100% sure on the outcomes. Anyway, they asked me to bring ideas for the committee, but I had no idea what to do because I wasn't exactly sure on where the committee was/is headed. I hosted the meeting today anyway (as you do).
Wow. In 1 hour, we formulated 4 educational events with 3 community partners, and even talked about co-hosting some legislative events. They are already on the calendar through October! The best part? The first educational event is a library showcase IN THE LIBRARY. I'm still surprised at how many people don't know what libraries have to offer. I'm going to change that in April. Hosted with a lunch, the event is going to be open for the Chamber members and the public. They asked if I could have something ready by then. Of course! I can whip out library presentations faster than anything. It helps that I love libraries so much.
For the next meeting, they asked for me to come up with a vision of the education committee and where I thought it should go. I can't wait to see what this adventure has in store for me. Let the juggling act begin!
