DoorwaysVA Blog

Greetings! Welcome to Beyond the Doorway and to Doorway’s first Blog entry! So why, you might inquire, is Doorways launching a blog?

There’s already a website, a Facebook fan page and a Twitter account to announce program updates, events, needs, etc.  However, what a blog allows us to offer to our community of supporters is a more personal voice and insight that is distinctive to a Blog forum. “Candid” talk about why and how our mission plays out from not only an observational stance but a thought provoking one as well. Staff guest bloggers and I will offer more a personal discussion about the challenges of operating a community nonprofit as well as thought leadership on critical issues that go well beyond Arlington, but still significantly impacting our community.

In the next few blogs I’ll keep you informed about a vital campaign to save our shelters …and why we are launching our bold new Brighter Future’s endeavor. Later, our staff bloggers will cover topics ranging from sharing aspects of the inner workings of our services… to sharing personal portrayals of a client’s journey out of homelessness or intimate violence.

So please subscribe and accept my personal invitation into our inner world here at Doorways. I know it will deepen your understanding and curiosity, and your appreciation of why it is so vital for all of us to be part of this mission.   And, most importantly, I want to hear back from you! I want to provide an opportunity for open discussion and sharing of ideas around these important issues.
