Need more work life balance

Rotary provided some of the best working memories in my career. I was brought in for a newly created position and was handed the keys to create. Being given such autonomy really allowed for me to experiment early and find my footing in a new industry/sector without having to be so bogged down with standard "business expectations" that were previously set. On top of this I would like to think I was placed within the best team setting for my personal growth and career ascension. While the area wasn't exactly what made sense for my role, the PEOPLE we're the absolute perfect culture fits. They allowed me to get a well rounded understanding of the business both internal and external as well as provided a safe place to ask questions. Having such a great culture fit on top of a ideal working environment is a very rare find, and I will forever be grateful for those opportunities.

Being in the non for profit world sometimes makes initiative driving hard as there are competing interest for "the cause" vs "business needs." This mentality would often create issues with IC's who work cross-departmentally being able to push projects along. Too many team silos in departments that need to be more collaborative to be able to work efficiently. Also, the appetite to explore new technology advancements are very slow moving. While budget could be approved, the resources were not often allocated to actual see the project through.
