I haven’t forgotten about you. As I said, I am a fan of promoting women into the sciences.
I have been pondering……….
I am considering pitching a large enterprise corporation to make a donation to your organization, which would entail compensation for my services simply because I cannot work for free, I would need to employ a caregiver for my brain-injured husband, while I would pursue anything to this extent.
Full transparency: I finish my radiation on Monday, November 18th. Then it is back to usual, if not completely normal.
When I was interviewed to go to**** company to sell clicks, I told one of the interviewers that I was ready to go back to work, but not in any way compromise the care of my children. The base salary had to cover a full time live out nanny. I was even audited by Revenue Canada, been on their watch pile ever since, because after taxes and nanny, there wasn’t anything left over. That was because it satisfied two things: care for my children that would enhance all of our lives and get back into sales into a field that intrigued me: digital printing. It wasn’t even a career mark in 1996. An unknown title. Compared to today, quite absurd.
I will see what I can do.
If anything, I will put together a presentation that I will do in front of you, your wife, your daughter, and any other major shareholder or stakeholder in the company.
I would like to be able to address:
1) Making it financially viable for me to work on launching the organization, creating an event, promoting it on all social media, including 3700+ 1st level connections.
2) Propose to one of the major accounts a charitable opportunity and sponsorship – like the Scotiabank Saddle Dome was once the Pengrowth Saddle Dome. Said sponsorship would cover my salary, which would cover my husband’s care, along with the overhead to promote, hold an event with media, dignitaries, celebrities, news organizations, etc.
3) Revamp public facing sites: website, social media, etc.
4) Renovate the establishment in a much more creative and creativity-charged atmosphere.
5) Promote, schedule tours, open houses for educational field all at once. By invitation.
6) Events. Get someone like Chris Hadfield to come to speak to group of young talented science hopefuls recognition for academic achievement.
I have a couple of interviews for full time work and have been for a few, still on the table. Having said that, I would think a “Passion Project” like this for me to sink my teeth in would be fantastic. Something to celebrate along with finishing cancer treatment.
I will reach out next week to see about your schedule. I would welcome hosting it.
Sincerely,Jeannette
