<description><![CDATA[ I have been an Admin Asst and/or HR Admin for the better part of 30 years.  For the past several years my bosses have had me research administrative training and certification. I always presented CAP as something I was interested in, but each year the time would go by and I would be informed that it was not in the budget. So early this year, I decided to pursue it on my own. 

I nicknamed 2021 "The Year of Growth" -- This year I am making an investment in ME ♡ After years and years of focusing on the care of others, this year I have taken on three big goals for myself: (1) For professional growth, I have enrolled in Marie's study group and am committed to taking the CAP certification exam in October, even out of my own pocket. (2) For personal growth, I participated in Wood Badge 135 (a specialized leadership training thru Scouts BSA).  (3) For spiritual growth, I have taken on two new roles within the church - including teaching Zoom meeting basics to church staff, committee leaders, and class teachers. 

I am WAY out of my comfort zone!  CAP will be a huge personal accomplishment -- Wish me luck -- its been over 30yrs since I sat for a 4hr exam.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Heather - Best of luck in "The Year of Growth" 2021.  The three goals you have identified are fantastic.  You will learn a great deal from each goal and the individuals on the receiving end will benefit.  "The Year of Growth" is giving a gift of your knowledge and time to folks who want to learn.  You should keep a journal on "The Year of Growth" experience.<br /><br />Linda L. Rolfe - CAP (Ret.), OM  ]]></description>
