Thanks

This is the last blog of 2014. Next week I will be taking a little R&R.

Thanks for making 2014 such a memorable one for all of us at OrgCode. Some highlights and memorable moments on our end:

• I took over 100% ownership of OrgCode at the end of the first quarter

• White House visit in July thanks to our rewarding work with Community Solutions

• SPDAT and VI-SPDAT changing the landscape of assessment in the United States and Canada and Australia

• Seeing complete states tackle coordinated access and common assessment effectively, keeping the people to be served at the centre of the discussion and planning

• The Alliance conferences in New Orleans and DC

• The 100K Homes Campaign reaching its goal

• Gwen departing OrgCode; Kieran departing OrgCode; Jeff joining OrgCode

• Popularity of training other than SPDAT: Excellence in Housing-Based Case Management, Assertive Engagement, Diversion, and Promoting Wellness & Recovery in particular

• Completion of a half dozen community affordable housing plans

• Reaching places we had never been before and making new meaningful connections professionally and personally

• Maintaining top tier frequent flier status (like that was ever in doubt)

• Surpassing 1,000 Likes on FaceBook

• Klout status

• Having so many people subscribe to the blog, and the popularity of a few select posts in particular

• Board retreats and leadership development assignments with a half dozen organizations

• Assisting with Executive searches and transitions for a handful of organizations

• The fantastic OrgCode team of professionals that are my motivators and friends and the engine that keeps what we do humming along

• Feeling that the work we do is making a difference, even when it most often means spending 5 or 6 days a week away from home

Keep an eye out for the first blog in 2015 which is all about things I hope happen in 2015!
