Spring 09

This is the season that will forever mark the tipping point (the culmination of a build-up of small changes that effects a big change)  for Girls on the Run of Jackson County. 

10 Small changes as I see them: 

1. Began a relationship with Paradise Park in Lee's Summit.

2. Had our first site in KC, MO 

3. Had our first site in LS, MO

4. Key People stepped up to help lead GOTR

5. I made a commitment to make GOTR my career - volunteer or not, it's what I do.

6. Began building relationships with other non-profit pro women organizations in KC - WIN KC and KC Express

7. Team Tiara changed to Sole Mates 

8. FACEBOOK 

9. TWITTER

10. Lee's Summit School District partnered with Paradise Park for the 5K.

In and of themselves, these 10 things may not have amounted to much, but put them together this spring, and suddenly, our little grass root program has started to bloom.  Each small change has led to more changes and more exposure for GOTR.  

My vision (this is the big change part of the tipping point)  for Girls on the Run of Jackson County is that we saturate this community.  That thousands of girls are doing the program every season.  That parents, teachers, and community leaders continue to embrace the program and realize the effect it will  have on society for years to come.  

So, how do we get there?  Well, we start with this tipping point, with this momentum, and we continue to build it and watch it explode!!!!
