Hello 3e Family:

What a busy year this has been! Leading the organization through an adaptive change has been both exciting and challenging as it requires patience, imagination and determination. Most importantly, an adaptive change requires the collective wisdom of the organization's stakeholders. For us that meant sending out a a survey, distilling the information, lots of listening, and finally the development of an initial strategic plan. This change required us to refine our mission, vision, goals, and update our name and logo to mark this change.

We began with Serve Day, had an Adopt-The-School Liaison training session, took a delegation of leaders to a COPE event (Cost of Poverty Experience) in Dallas and had our first annual Q Commons and Q Dinner. We also hosted a pastor's breakfast with Greg Thompson: Theological scholar, faith practitioner and creator of Union, A New Musical - coming to McKinney in March.

While all of these initiatives were exciting, what we have enjoyed most is getting to know our city leaders, pastors and community members who shape this community every day. We are humbled to have the opportunity to work alongside these great people to improve our city so all can flourish.
