Hello World. (It’s been awhile.)

Howdy folks. It’s been awhile. I’m sure you’ve all been wondering where we’ve been. And we don’t blame you.

You’ve no doubt seen the press (#1, #2, #3, #4) in the past several weeks. It’s true what they say, Creative Coast has and is going through an evolution. We’re still monkeys, but hopefully we’ve also progressed a little.

We’ve covered alot of ground, so we’ll just give you the high-level points. Here’s a rough list of what we’ve been doing:

December 2009:

• Brynn created and assembled Transition Team

January – July 2010:

• Crafted mission, vision, values, & strategic map
• Brought Jake on board, moved TCCa (i.e. Fitz) out of SEDA building
• Cemented City and County Funding for 2010
• Lined up funding for 2011
• Identified and secured new Board of Directors
• Maintained existing Creative Coast programs and services

August 2010:

• Two man team: Jake + Fitz
• Transferring accounts and funds
• Negotiating lease terms and begin move into downtown office location (15 W. York St)
• Transferring ownership of 501c6 from SEDA to TCCa
• Transferring ownership of Creative Coast intellectual property from SEDA to Creative Coast
• Orienting and structuring new Board of Directors

You’ll notice we’ve got a new mission/vision/etc. (You’d be suprised what it takes to get a room of 10 people to agree on one sentence.)
