Band Together Communications

Introducing... Band Together Communications! Today, we are officially launching Band Together, an independent communications shop to help mission-based organizations tell their stories. And we're hiring?our first employee (find the job description on our website). Even for communications folks, it can be hard to find the right words. This is one of those times. So, I'm going to take the advice that we often?give other people. When you're stuck, run with what feels most true. Go for honesty over the perfect words. For me, the truest feeling I have is one of gratitude. Gratitude to our current clients for trusting us.? Gratitude to my parents for teaching me that stories open our hearts. Gratitude?to Sacha Steinberger for always believing in me and for letting me convert?our garage into an office. Gratitude?to my partner in this endeavor, Marisa Giller, for always saying "yes" and smiling along the way. And gratitude?to the exceptional?mentors and colleagues?that I've had the honor of learning from. Below are 10 of those people - and the values they've modeled - that we will strive to embrace every day at Band Together Communications. 1. Michael Boland, FASLA - for knowing that beautiful things take us places. 2. Sam Cobbs - for having the courage to always say what needs to be said. 3. Dan Cohen - for putting an abundant mindset into practice. 4. Daniel Lurie 丹尼爾·羅偉 - for modeling the power of a hand-written note. 5. Karina Moreno - for coining "how lucky are we" and making it so. 6. Craig Middleton - for seeing everything as an opportunity. 7. Jennifer Pitts- for going the extra mile - always. 8. William Rogers - for understanding the true value of a second chance. 9. Jody Sanford - for appreciating that a well-timed joke can break through?it all. 10. Bob Tobin - for knowing that there are multiple ways into the right conversation. We hope to work with many of you in the years ahead. With gratitude,? Joshua
