Time for a makeover...
Last year was a crazy year for me and my event company, Sommer Sports. While it was a good year for the company, it was certainly one I was glad to put behind me. When you have been in the triathlon event business as long as I have been (27 years), it is often hard to get excited about the next upcoming season. I'm excited to say that is not the case this year. Two previous employees, Cindy and Jo-Ann, have rejoined the Sommer Sports team. With those two gals joining Doug and Mark, I have a great team lined up with lots of positive energy flowing through the office. Now I'm really excited about our 2011 season!
Recently we focused some of that energy on re-energizing our office environment. The entire office just received a fresh coat of paint and next week will be adorned inside and out with some fresh new graphics. We are also preparing for a major gutting and reorganizing of our warehouse. It is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate when you have been doing this for over a quarter century. I promised my team I will allow them to toss or recycle unneeded equipment. Being a hard core pack-rat, that is going to tough for me....you just never know when you may need some of this stuff again. :) But I have always believed in the motto that change is good, and the change in our office/warehouse environment will be a good thing for all of us.
We have lots of positive changes in store for our events and the way we do things as a company. Stay tuned for more details on that in future posts.
