I must be a communicator

I wanted to share a little opportunity I've been given at work.  I can't go into tons of detail but here is what I can share.  I had an opportunity to join a new disability group at work.  It is a company sponsored program to promote and raise awareness of disabled people and sharing support we've received or need.

They reached out to me in November and asked if I would be interested in being the chairman of the communications efforts for the Utah division! It is a volunteer thing and I need to fit it into my regular daily schedule but I was thrilled to be given the opportunity.  It feels like a stretch for me but I know I have the skills to do a great job.  I am working on putting together a communication launch plan and developing programs that fit in with the national team efforts but appropriate for our location.

I think it is really cool to be able to take on a leadership role since it is something I've got in my back pocket of work skills even though my current role doesn't really challenge that avenue of me.  I look forward to this challenge.  I am already enjoying meeting other employees that are touched by disability.
