2A Daily News – Tuesday, January 29, 2013 Community people&events Tim Weatherson You Matter TCM group graduates from Capacity Building Academy Special to the DN Throughout 2012, the Tehama County Museum (TCM) was just one of many Tehama County non-profit organizations that participated in the Dorothy Lindauer Capacity Building Academy, a program for local non-profits sponsored by the Tehama County Community Action Agency. Pictured here at graduation are the TCM Board members who participated: Darrell Mullins, April Pryor (explaining a recently launched Museum program), Catherine Marshall (instructor of the Academy) and Chris Bauer (photo by TCM colleague Pam Britting). For participating organizations one of the most important activities was to lay out their visions, missions, overall objectives, strategies and action plans on one side of a single sheet of paper. Although this One Page Business Plan® became the blue print for each organization's stated objective and actions, it was designed with enough flexibility to allow for refinement. "When we started, we had no idea we would be able to develop a program to reach kids in schools," said Pam Bitting, TCM executive director. "Because of the strategies we developed, we are now using our new 'Museum in a Suitcase' program to take the Museum to schools across Tehama County." An outgrowth of this Academy is the Non-Profit Round Table for Tehama County. The goal of the group is to establish a central point where non-profits from throughout the county can join together to collaborate, share ideas and information and build partnerships. The TCM is one of the many bodies actively participating in this effort. For more information about how a non-profit can get involved in the Roundtable, contact Orle Jackson of Tehama Together via e-mail at info@tehamatogether.org. For more information on how to become a TCM Member, to volunteer your time and talents to the Museum or to donate, call the Museum at 384-2595 or send an e-mail to tcmuse@tehama.net. Over the Christmas holiday I got some lovely address labels in the mail. They were sent by my insurance agent, Tim Weatherson. The gesture may have been small, but the labels were helpful and I really liked them. They had cute trees, reindeer and ornaments on them. As a marketing tool, they were effective because every time I sent a letter in the month of December, I was reminded that Tim made it possible for me to save time and send a card or pay a bill with something really useful and cute. I guess I am a sucker for cute. Ordinarily, getting address labels in the mail would strike me as a mass marketing ploy and maybe it was, but when I add it to all of the other personalized things Tim has done, it just makes me appreciate him more. I met Tim when I had to leave my other insurance agency. I had been with them for years, but they simply didn't offer the payment plans that I needed to fit my family situation. I met with Tim and he not only met my expectations, he took the time to assess exactly what I needed and when I left his office I felt excited about insurance. I don't believe insurance is something I would list on my top ten things to be excited about, but it happened. As time went by, I started to see that Tim was turning out to be more than just a nice insurance guy. Tim seemed to really care about his clients. Not in a creepy way, but in that way that made insurance agent.
