Cars, Careers, Commerce, and Community A lot of business owners and leaders love their cars, and here is an opportunity to get together and enjoy some great Virginia October weather while showing them off for a good cause. It's no secret to any followers of my feed how much interest I have in the Academies of Loudoun. This is one of the country's premier high schools that offers such a wide range of technical and scientific possibilities that nearly any kid who is determined to find a path can have access. Though it is not exclusive or elite, the opportunities they offer certainly are. So many fields provide a launch pad to propel their career forward, and businesses routinely scout the school for future talent. My own daughter earned welding certifications here and had a fantastic job waiting for her before she even graduated. My son earned his CNA in their nursing program before graduation, and his early experience in their Engineering program has him on a path toward biomedical engineering now. ? How does what we do on a weekend have anything to do with what we go back to on Mondays? So many things - - It ties us and our business back to #communityWellness. - It builds a muscle memory of engagement with others as we keep our head up looking for opportunities and purpose. - We find ways to highlight shared experiences among those in our organizations. - They give us networking opportunities to meet new people and get more comfortable talking about what we do and why we do it. I'll start: Hi, I'm Scott. I'm all about combining #mentalHealthAwareness with Organizational Development. A commitment to building highly productive cross-functioning teams, and creating belonging through #engagement. What's your name? What would you like to do more of, and how can I help? -

The war on paper is a continuous battle, but one that yields significant victories. #WestChesterTownshipOhio, has made remarkable strides since May 2018 when I declared "war on paper." Departments like Community Development, Police Records, Administration, HR, and Public Information and Engagement have successfully transitioned to digital storage, enabling efficient electronic retrieval of required files. The shift towards digital archives has significantly reduced the production of paper records, marking a substantial progress over the past 5-6 years. During the purging process, the pictured 5 1/4 inch floppy disk with a mere 128K bytes of storage was discovered, highlighting the vast technological advancements made over 40 years. Despite these advancements, many organizations still rely heavily on paper documentation. For those considering embarking on their own war on paper, starting small, meticulous planning, insistance, persistance, and patience are key to success. We are always available to help if you need any advice. This persistent progress is due to the dedicated team members at #WestChesterTownshipOhio. Their efforts in championing efficiency and sustainability through digital transformation make them the unsung heroes in this ongoing war on paper. #paperless #efficiency #sustainability
