NOTES FROM LORI
Welcome 2021! We've all been waiting to turn the page on 2020. The past 365 days presented challenges like we never seen before, BUT we made it through together and will come out stronger and smarter this year. I missed seeing all of you in the workspaces this holiday season and want to remind you that our lunches have been postponed until we can get together safely. Hopefully, it will be soon. Do you know that we celebrate 40 years of business on June 1? That’s when, fingers crossed, we are planning to have our lunches and celebrate! In the meantime, mask up and stay safe.
Last year our theme was, “Just Show Up” but early in the year COVID-19 had other plans. So, we quickly pivoted to deliver our networking and workshops via Zoom. We learned together and you all showed up to support us. I am proud of the fact that we never closed our workspaces, never laid off a team member and always kept the payroll flowing to support team members’ families. I am honored to say we were the frontline workers on behalf of our members. We will continue to provide our services with the commitment of our outstanding OC team.
Our 2021 theme is, “A BRAND New Year”. All of our monthly PowerLunch topics will provide content so you can elevate your personal and professional brand. Topics will include planning, branding and marketing with some of the best presenters in our community. Create a better and more concise message in your web and social media presence, personal branding and company image. Everyone can use a little (or a lot) of help with branding and marketing. Judy Zimmer will kick-off our series on January 28. Attend one, or all twelve! We can work on improving our brands and we'll do it TOGETHER. |
Out with the old & in with the new! We wish you all the best in 2021. It's a BRAND New Year! |

The People to Know in 2021 by Twin Cities Business are the usual array of movers and shakers, with a focus on who will blaze a trail out of the pandemic and into a universe increasingly defined by its commitment to equity in deeds rather than verbiage. Jasmine-Brett Stringer and Dr. Verna Price both made the list! MORE

Joanne Howden-Rich, APRN, CNP, PMHNP-BC, of Synergy Family Psychiatric Services, took a fun approach to December 2020 by wearing an ugly sweater to her office at Edina every day! Thanks for bringing your sense of Jingle & Mingle to OC. Her holiday spirit won her the title (and prize!) of Most Holiday Cheer!

2021: A BRAND New Year!
That's right, it's a BRAND NEW Year and we want to give all of our members BRAND NEW content in 2021 that will help elevate your brand. So, with that in mind, we set out to re-BRAND our monthly PowerLunch presentations so the entire 2021 series will focus on ways to Plan, Brand & Market yourself, your business, your website, YOUR BRAND! We have asked some of our top branding and marketing members to present over the next 12 months and our hope is that you find their information so valuable that you'll register for the entire series. Aside from powerful content and expert advice, each presenter will be giving a BONUS to one lucky member in attendance designed to assist with your branding needs. As always, PowerLunch is FREE and open to all members as part of what makes OffiCenters the best and biggest place to Work Awesome in the Twin Cities. REGISTER NOW

OneCommunity in action! We stepped up in a big way this holiday season to support two local charities that had more need than ever before. Hats & Mittens, whose mission is to warm the hands and hearts of Minnesota children, already distributed over 23,000 sets and winter has just begun. Our team, along with many generous members, doubled donations over last year and we can’t thank everyone who contributed to this worthy cause enough. Then there is Christmas in the City. The ministry had 43 families that applied for their program this year. Our family of five had one request on their Christmas list, FOOD. In a year where we have faced so many challenges, it made our hearts weak to see there are others that are lacking the basic necessities to survive. So, along with gifts for the family and kids, we purchased a “healthy” gift card from Cub to fulfill their wish. This is truly what OneCommunity is all about and we couldn’t do it without YOUR support. Again, thank YOU!
