A lot is going on within the SDCC and 2024 will mark a year of new beginnings! Staff Changes: In October, the Board voted to eliminate the near full-time Executive Director position.
This decision was not taken lightly but was a reflection of budget constraints and the demand support most requested of the SDCC.
The Board decision allows the SDCC to hire a part-time project coordinator and to invest more funds toward direct visible returns to the neighborhood.
This includes more programming, beautification, and events. Thank you to Mike Reid for all that he did in maintaining continuity within the community throughout the last few years. Karen Kelsey, our Office Administrator, submitted her request to retire effective December 1, 2023.
She worked for the SDCC for 8.5 years.
We cannot express our gratitude for her support to the community. Currently, the SDCC does not have any paid staff, but the Board will post a position for the Events Coordinator/Office Administrator early in 2024.
This role will focus on supporting events and initiatives, as well as managing the SDCC Office.
The Board is volunteering to continue essential operations through this period of change. Committees and the Board to continue to facilitate advocacy with the City as an ongoing effort. New Initiatives Underway Our first investment back to the community is to renovate the SDCC office so it serves as a much more functional space for community gatherings and events.
It will be more open, adaptable and accessible for many different needs (Book clubs, Scout meetings, toddler and parent groups, small events, coffee with neighbors, etc).
A survey was sent to homeowners in Skinker-DeBaliviere through the E-Blast to get ideas for uses for the office and we have received many great ideas! That survey remains open and will be posted on the SDCC Website.
