Accentuate

I’ve just finished my first month as the Our View Project Manager. It’s been a whirlwind of introductions, Mac vs. pc interfacing, and my head absorbing the vast array of projects that come together to form Accentuate. Everyone I’ve met so far has been lovely!

The appointment of the Our View Core group is very nearly complete, bringing together an exciting wealth of experience and expertise across arts, museums, culture, performance, sport, communication, persuasion and strategic development. An exciting, talented and diverse group with real potential to challenge and influence; I’m really looking forward to working with them.

One of my first tasks was to check in with all Accentuate Project Officers to say hello, and find out where they are at with appointing their Our View Project People. Projects vary hugely in their stage of delivery, and stage of ‘Our Viewness’. Some have their Project People up and running already, some are in the process of appointing, others are in need of a bit of support. As each project is different, so is each Project Person role. What is shared, is the ability of a disabled person, as an employee to have a real influence over how their project is delivered.

Over the coming months I’m looking forward to putting more faces to names and in the process travelling further a field in the South East. I’m also looking forward to bringing people together, initially the Core Group, but then in the Summer creating an opportunity for Our View Project People and Core Group to come together to network and share experiences.
