For the past few weeks our management team has been working on realigning our staff and making some role changes in our organization.  This has happened once already since I’ve been on staff.  It’s a healthy thing to do, because you have to change to stay effective.  Sometimes those changes are small, and sometimes those changes are not-so-small.  Being the lone IT guy, I’ve gotten a little used to the organizational changes not having much of an effect on me, which is why I got rocked at our weekly staff meeting today.

Our executive director had our new org chart ready and presented it to us today.  When he got to the Business Operations division (which is where the IT Department sits), my jaw dropped.  We now have a second person working in the IT Department!

K Greenwalt (her real name, I promise) is now working in IT operations and will be doing training and software support for our staff.  K is also our Fellowship One superhero and has a pretty good knowledge of our systems, so this was a pretty logical move.  Her background and strong ability to train is going to be extremely valuable as our staff begins to “live” in Outlook.  This to me is HUGE…not only because we now have a second person on board, but also because they’ve already been on the inside and have a good feel for how our office operates.  I’M PUMPED!!
Hopefully, this will give us the ability to begin moving forward with some projects we’ve had to sit on for awhile.  I’m very excited! (Have I mentioned that already?)  Welcome to the IT Department, K!
