Longer version –
I am working on the 2024 annual report, and I’d like to include your contribution in the CPI record.
1. Please send me an estimate of the total hours you contributed to Cuddle Party Inc. for the calendar year 2024. Of course accuracy is always wonderful, but I understand most of us were not tracking in real time. So this can be a guesstimate.
Here is an example of a possible calculation for me: (Board meetings and working group mtgs 2 hours per week x 52 = 104) + (5 more hours per week admin, training and prep on avg x 52 = 260) = 364 hours Mary’s time in 2024.
2. I would love to include a short paragraph in your own words regarding your work with us. Here is an example:

Mary Sorensen
I started the year 2024 as President of the Board and continued to serve in that capacity throughout the year. In August, I took on the post of Executive Director as well. I prioritized getting our volunteers and staff on board by negotiating written agreements with our contributors, spending time with the training team to help certify and support our new facilitators, getting cats herded to keep the lights on at CPI, working on stabilizing the back end of the website, planning for updating our training offerings, getting our financial books and reporting in order, and multiple engagement reach outs to connect with our volunteers and organize folks working with CPI as well as accomplishing some housekeeping updates with the Board and the Bylaws.
