In light of our not-so distant office relocation, I thought that a blog on change would be very fitting.  So, here goes...

I'm sure we can all relate to the fact that as time goes on, things around us change.  Even though none of us wants to admit it, we ourselves change too.  Well I've come to realize that the same is true for matches. 

While change can sometimes be difficult, it can also be wonderful.  I was recently privileged enough to hear this touching story from one of my longer standing matches about the ways in which their match has changed over the years...

Last year brought forth many challenges for our Enrollment department.  We started off the year with 223 Bigs who were in process, and none ready to be matched.  Thanks to a phenomenal team effort, we were able to give a huge push over the spring and summer, at one point, staff members from nearly every program were conducting Big Brother and Big Sister interviews!  The result of this push, was the acceptance of almost 100 Bigs into our program - with a total of almost 150 Littles on our wait list, you can imagine how excited we were about this!
