To do this, we’ve created a new position called “Client Care Coordinator.” It has a strong focus on meeting the administrative needs of our community, but also involves many of the organizational bits and pieces that make us tick.

Change is hard, especially when relationships are this strong, but we’re excited to see how Emma and Bree spread their magic into the world next, and we’re joyfully opening our hearts to our new team member.

We’d love your help in getting the word out! Our community is the best at connecting us with the right people. All hearts and minds on board! This search is epic.
