Tell me why you are here. [View all]

I added this group to my subscriptions because I am constantly thinking about my career and how to achieve the goals in my 10-year strategic plan for myself. But I see there are no posts in here yet. I thought I would start a thread. So if you’ve come here and are seeing this, please post why you checked in to this group and what your goals are.

My goals are to get better at the job I have, possibly do my job for someone else soon who can provide a better working environment, and eventually to be a top consultant in my field, which is not-for-profit fundraising.
