back to the drawing board
The Women's Commission has hired a new Executive Director. And it's not me. I don't recognize the name of the woman they hired, either.
I'm going to just focus on my new interim job for the time being and continue to keep my feelers out there. I'm also going to remain a Commissioner. It would be pretty petty of me to resign at this point, right?
Please continue keeping those eyes and ears open about other opportunities in Tucson. This just means that the Commission wasn't the right one for me
This news will actually please one of my references and mentors greatly. She didn't want me to take this position if offered because she doesn't believe "mom and pop operations" like the Commission are going to survive.
I disagree, but now I don't have to worry about that twinge of doubt!
All things considered, there's worse news I could have received this morning. I'll find my next big thing soon enough!

That's all I could find on her by Googling. She's also apparently an avid outdoors person - climbing, hiking, biking, swimming.
She does appear to be local, which is good. You know I have a natural aversion to academics doing grassroots work (i.e., they prove to me they can't each and every time).
But I will certainly give her the benefit of the doubt and look forward to working with her to take the Commission to the next level.
This just means this wasn't the right job for me after all. The universe will provide.
