Our Alberta Office

Hi! I'm Sarah McKenzie and I'm the Marketing and New Media Manager for The Mustard Seed's Alberta office. I'm going to take you on a tour through our digs, so grab some refreshments and your reading glasses. First through the door is myself. Sorry there aren't pictures like this of everyone. Believe me, you don't know how sorry I am. You might have seen this face in our YouTube videos; I am responsible for managing The Mustard Seed's online presence across the province, among other things.

Across from me you'll find Georg, Allan and Peter - they run Seedworks, a company that is part of The Mustard Seed and takes much longer than a sentence to explain. Basically they employ a number of our guests, as well as seek out new housing options for us to pursue for our guests. Craig, who is just down the hall, is involved with the housing as well.

Karina (@la_canadiense on Twitter) and I share a [chalkboard painted] wall and she's the mastermind for assistant to Jeff Dyer, who you heard from yesterday. Jeff (@jeffndyer on Twitter) is our Chief Operating Officer and joined The Mustard Seed about a year and a half ago. You'll hear from him more on the blog, don't worry. Moving right along (did you bring your refreshments?), Aart Schuurman Hess is the Interim Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Development Officer and our Chief Administrative Officer as well. We'll just say he's a busy guy. His assistant, Joyce, definitely helps him to keep it together.

After Joyce is Irene, our in-house strategist and consultant who helps with many different projects at The Mustard Seed, and at the end of the hall, Kathleen and Janet share an office. Kathleen helps our development department with various projects, and Janet is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to research.

And there you have it! The Alberta Office is a great place to hang out, but during the summer it's been pretty quiet. How should we spruce things up? What do you do when your office is empty during the summer?
