What if the Sky’s NOT the Limit?

At a recent breakfast hosted by LEADERSHIP ASHEVILLE, the discussion was about how to create a connected community. One panelist that was particularly moving was Amy Cantrell, of BeLoved Asheville. She shed light on a harsh reality that many kids living right in the heart of Asheville have never been and can not afford to attend a theatre performance, or a local ball game. This sparked an idea.

Eliada was very receptive to joining us at the Asheville Tourists game, and brought a group of young adults that are overcoming obstacles to transition from foster care to independence, and are putting forth great effort to create a good life for themselves. We were so grateful they could come, and it taught us to broaden our scope of connection beyond the business relationships we have in our community.

Here, and in upcoming issues, we will also be highlighting organizations that are making a big impact on our community.

BELOVED ASHEVILLE A community deeply rooted in Love and Justice. 

Some of the amazing projects BeLoved Asheville has created include the BeLoved Asheville Village that provides deeply affordable, community-oriented, sustainable tiny homes that produce equity for the residents.They also have a Kids/Youth Build initiative where the kids will fully sponsor, fund and build a tiny home in the village.

A NIGHT AT THE BALL GAME

The Platinum Team enjoyed two great nights at the ball game in one of the Tourists VIP Suites. Yummy food, fun games, and a rare opportunity to be close to the players warming up. One of them even tossed a Platinum kid a ball! Thank you to the Eliada family for joining us for one of the nights. A great time had by all!

UPDATE: AN EVOLUTION OF THE PLATINUM TEAM

With the robustness and scalability of the iSolved system, we are finding it helpful to address the specialized implementation and support needs of our clients by allocating specific responsibilities to our team. Danielle Diaz has now moved into the role of Implementation Director. If you are a small business with payroll processing needs, or a large corporation that requires the full spectrum of services from payroll to HCM, Danielle can build out as basic or broad a system as needed. Then, to give more attention to specific support needs, Tasha McCormick is now our Customer Support Manager.
