Make new friends but keep the o-old, one is silver and the other’s gold.
When I graduated from college, I never expected to be so fortunate so soon in my professional life. My first post-grad workplace was full of welcoming, engaging, generous and helpful people. I feel blessed to have worked for Vibrant Technologies over the last two + years, and it’s with much sadness that I’m saying goodbye to the environment which has become so comfortable and close to my heart. I have been given some wonderful opportunities by people there – including travel and continuing education, in addition to opportunities for fun projects outside the office. I am grateful for everything I’ve been given, and can only hope my contributions to the company have benefited them as much as getting to know the people there has benefited me.
While it would be easy for me to stick around, I’ve never been one to sit still for long. A new adventure is upon me, and although I will miss a lot of things about Vibrant, it’s time for me to force myself to grow.
I’ve been offered the E-communications and Marketing Manager position at Second Harvest Heartland – a non-profit organization for hunger relief in the Midwest. I’ll be helping Second Harvest to establish a presence in the social media world, in addition to managing other aspects of e-marketing within the organization. I can’t wait to start helping get the word out about Second Harvest and the generous, charitable individuals who work and volunteer there.
My last day at Vibrant will not be without tears, but I have the highest of hopes for my future at Second Harvest.
“Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.”
“Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis.”

Congrats sweetie! That sounds like a TON of fun!
Congratulations! So pleased that you’ll be able to help such a great organization expand their reach on the social web.
Lindsi –
You came through on my blog alerts. Congratulations on your new position and welcome to the food bank network. Great to have people with social networking backgrounds.
I am with the national office of America’s Second Harvest (soon to be Feeding America) and please let me know if you have any questions.

I love that I found this post via my Google Alerts (for “Vibrant Technologies”). I’d set an alert up for “Lindsi Gish” to follow your promising career, but I’m not sure I’m ready for the deluge of alerts that will follow. (That and I try not to be too much of a stalker.)
We’ll miss you here, but congrats again on the great new opportunity!
Congratulations Lindsi!! Good luck to you and your upcoming changes!
