dear Matt,
So... ████ █████ declined the job.
After speaking with Teresa we decided to try to do a bit more of a forward-driven recruitment strategy. This means we need to ask other artist-run centres in the region if they have anyone who was short-listed for recent hires that they would recommend.
I was also wondering if all the people who you reached out to ended up applying, or if you can think of anyone that we could email to invite for an interview.
I will also write to my two arts contacts in London to see if they can think of anyone.
I think that if we can assemble a few other people it's still possible to save this, hope is not entirely gone, it's just frustrating to have hit a dead end with this round of interviews.
I hope you're doing ok with this potential moving crisis. Sending online support.
warmly,
Josh

Hey there,

WOW. I'm kind of in shock here. ████████ ██████ █ ██████ ███ ████ ██ ████ █████ I think both people I told about the job applied, but I can see again. I will think and get back to you about other potential people that could be good at grant writing. This is certainly frustrating, I'm really sorry about this Josh. 

Warmly,

Josh Schwebel <privatejosh@gmail.com> To: Matt Kyba <██████████████████ > Cc: Teresa Carlesimo <██████████████████████████ >

dear Matt,
I know. I'm totally in shock. It's a pretty raw deal.
If there's any other people you can think of, please please let me know. I contacted a couple of profs I remember from my year at Western, and a friend of mine, who said they couldn't think of anyone.
I hope so much that we can find someone though.
thanks for your support.

Hi both, 

I hope you had a good weekend! Just a quick update for now—the call will most likely be circulated through Western's internal networks this week (I hope this week), so newsletters to students and community with opportunities, etc., and I've contacted Fanshawe's appropriate departments to do the same. 

My best, 

Teresa Carlesimo (she/her)

dear Teresa,
Thanks for the update. I also reached out to a few professors I worked with at Western, so I guess they will be getting contacted from both of us... :)
I suppose I should update the submission date on the call doc?
August 1?
Thanks for pushing this, and god, I hope we find someone!
warmly,
Josh

Hi Teresa and Matt,
If there is a chance for a quick conversation today or tomorrow to consolidate our strategy that would be great. I am just worried that we might not find anyone unless we are clear about our next steps.
Thanks and take care,
Josh
