Reflective and thankful
Morgan Tunink • May 21, 2019
I am quickly coming up on the end of my second year as President of Community Players’ Board of Directors and I have been feeling reflective. What have the last two years meant to me? What have I brought to the organization? What has the organization taught me?
There is no short, cute, or exceedingly profound answer. I have learned things you would expect; how the organization functions on a day to day basis, how the employees bring heart and soul to our mission, how absolutely astounding our volunteers are, and how patient my family is with my being absent.
I’ve also learned a lot of things that aren’t so easily measured or tangible. I’ve learned how to be a stronger leader and how to move outside of my comfort zone to talk to a lot of new people. I learned that I’m an innovative fundraiser and can work as hard as anyone else on a project that I am passionate about. I’ve learned how to set firm boundaries for myself and how to mostly stick to them.
Maybe most importantly I’ve learned how much this theatre and community means to me. I know how far I will go to foster the arts in Southeast Nebraska and in our schools. I know that I wouldn’t be the person I am today, setting new goals, learning new things, and building strong relationships without Community Players.
So, as I near the end of this term and look into the next year, thank you volunteers, employees, and patrons for making this theatre a priority in our community.
