Conquering 2020
The Start of Our Company
The year started off pretty slow for us. Everyone was a bit shy, but once the BOD
meetings started, we were a bit more comfortable with each other. Then it came to
creating a product idea. From the start, we talked about products that will "fill a need"
and the idea of creating a care box was always something we went over multiple
times. It was not until we were given the privilege to talk to the guest speaker from one
of the JA Podcast, Mr. Charlie Hermosa, creator of the Guam Gift Baskets. His start up
and reasons why he created this product, inspired us to go through with our idea and
create a box full of care.
Our Challenges
A lot of members kept showing up every other day, and it was hard for most of us to
speak up and get comfortable with each other. Once it got to the elections, things
got a bit more easy. We started having BOD meetings and that is where most of us
became more comfortable to speak up. Our members were also going down fast. A
lot of us had a lack of motivation and commitment to the team. And due to other
personal issues, members were not able to attend the main meetings, virtual events,
and BOD meetings. To overcome this, the members that did stayed gave a hard
working mindset and energy. We all started getting closer and really took advantage
of our communication outlets.
Human Resources
The Human Resources Departments consists of our president and HR vice president
which oversees a team of four to five members. At each meeting, executives
discussed specific events/tasks that needed to be done from a prepared agenda.
During the first few weeks, the team focused on icebreakers, elections, and upcoming
events like the JA Kick Off. Considering the amount of time we get to meet with our
mentors, we tried very hard to finish documents like the business plan, and Charter &
By-Laws. All of us were "first years," so we tried our best to navigate through the
necessary forms the best that we could.
