Dear Cornerstone Community,
I am truly honored and humbled to step into the role of Programs and Operations Director at Cornerstone. My name is Alexis Flint, and I stand before you with a heart filled with gratitude, hope, and a profound commitment to the mission that has defined Cornerstone for years. As I take on this responsibility, I wanted to share my story, my aspirations, and my dedication to continuing the incredible work that my father, Bryan Flint, Sr., began.
A Personal Journey
This journey is deeply personal for me. My father's tragic passing in May left an indescribable void in my heart and within the Cornerstone family. His unwavering faith and boundless passion were the cornerstones of this organization. While I acknowledge that filling his shoes is an impossible task, I carry forward his legacy with the faith and passion he instilled in me.
A Vision for the Future
My vision for Cornerstone is rooted in community, compassion, and collaboration. It's not just about maintaining the legacy my father left; it's about building upon it. As the new Programs and Operations Director, I am committed to nurturing relationships with local churches, individuals, businesses, and organizations. Together, we can amplify the impact of Cornerstone and create a stronger support network for those in need.
A Commitment to Connection
One of the things that resonates deeply with me is the power of connections. Cornerstone isn't just a building; it's a community of caring hearts. I am eager to work closely with the Board of Directors, our dedicated staff, our passionate volunteers, and all of you who make up the Cornerstone family. Your support and unity are what make our mission possible, and I am grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside each of you.
Navigating Challenges, Embracing Hope
This role is not without its challenges, but challenges are what mold us and make us stronger. I am fully aware that I cannot carry this responsibility alone. It's the collective effort, the shared vision, and the unwavering commitment that will drive us forward. Together, we can reach even more individuals who need our help, providing them with shelter, nourishment, clothing, and the support they deserve.
Moving Forward with Gratitude
I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Board of Directors for entrusting me with this pivotal role. I am filled with gratitude for your belief in me and for the opportunity to contribute to Cornerstone's ongoing legacy. Your confidence inspires me to give my all and to do justice to the incredible foundation my father laid.
A Journey of Hope
As I step into this role, I am reminded that hope is the beacon that guides us. Cornerstone is not just a place; it's a symbol of hope for our community. My father's memory fuels my determination, and your unwavering support fuels my optimism. Together, we will build a future where Cornerstone's reach extends further, where our impact grows stronger, and where the spirit of love and compassion continues to thrive.
In the coming days, weeks, and months, I look forward to engaging with all of you—our volunteers, our supporters, our community—together, let's make a difference. Please feel free to reach out to me with your ideas, thoughts, and suggestions. Our journey is just beginning, and I am excited to embark on it hand in hand with each of you.
With heartfelt appreciation and boundless hope,
Alexis
