Mariah Horner - Thought #2 - Ownership & Arts Admin

Hello, this is Mariah Horner and this is my second thought.  This morning I'm thinking a lot about the difference between a company and an enterprise and the people that work...within it. So I'm involved right now in a transition with um...a company I work for and today I am tasked with transferring all of the contacts for the relationships and the stories that were told this year.  And I'm feeling really protective and stubborn about that and I think the reason is because I'm struggling with understanding that um, especially in a community-based endeavour with relationships that are mined and sweat for and cared for....I'm having trouble understanding that is owned by a company and that is not owned by the individuals that worked to nurture those relationships. Obviously I'm very protective of um...people that I connect with and I'm all for knowledge sharing I really am, but maybe this is my ego or my naïveté but I'm struggling with it. I'm grappling with it.
