January 2015
Downtown Revitalization Non Profit ED.
Executive Director:
Pros: I am most rewarded by the work I do to support local small business entrepreneurs. I find that my efforts to connect the many communities of Framingham to its historic downtown are integral to building a successful economic future for these businesses. My goal to create a vibrant place that improves quality of life for all of the town's residents is closely aligned to my personal vision, which makes the experience fulfilling.
Cons: I am the only paid employee and I wear many hats, so there is less time to focus my energy on the community planning aspect of the job. I do all of the bookkeeping, administration and grant-writing, as well as a lion's share of the fundraising. Also, my position is of great importance to the general public, so there often is a great deal of criticism and pressure associated with outcomes that take a significant amount of time to achieve.
