not enough time (make time stop)

damn! it's tuesday! and I ain't blogged! damn! it's tuesday! and I ain't blogged!

It's a new fiscal year, and we should take a minute to feel good about ourselves, and to say goodbye to one of Verde's heavy lifters.

For reasons I have difficulty explaining, we have exceeded our goals for Earned Income (income from services) and for Grants, and have managed to keep our expenses mostly at or below budget projections. This is really a testament to our kickass crew, our true story, and the strength of our partners, advisers, and board of directors.

New fiscal year also means change, and we're saying adios to Heidi Soderberg, Verde's inaugural Board Chair and world-renowned zydeco dancer. Heidi serves as Executive Director for SE Works, a kickass operation in its own right, and it's really not possible to exaggerate how much she's given to Verde, especially to some punkass, wet-behind-the-ears executive director (wet-behind-the-ears enough to use the word "punkass" in the company blog) who was beyond clueless when this all began.

So, to review: good fiscal year, goodbye Heidi, E.D. still clueless but somewhat less so...

happy 4-Of-7
