First Meeting with Roberto from ACCION

Posted on November 7, 2009 by Arts Marketplace

Hi! I’m Meg Askey, and I’m a member of the Arts Marketplace. I’ve just started visiting with Therese and Miki on a regular basis and met Roberto Valdez-Beltran from ACCION last week.

Roberto and Therese provided me with a wealth of information that will help me start a (for now, mysterious) event in Arizona. And I’m going to share my progress with you. It will help keep me motivated and on-task and maybe seeing my progress will inspire others.

The first meeting was a basic meet-n-greet. Well, that was what it was intended to be. It quickly expanded into a presentation of my event proposal and brainstorming session for fund raising. Roberto advised me on ways that ACCION could help me re-establish good credit and suggested some people in the community that might be able to help me raise money for my event.

I left feeling excited and motivated to succeed. Can’t wait to see Roberto again next week. I’ll keep you posted by, well, posting.
