Yesterday we interviewed three architectural firms for Esperanza. We eliminated our favorite firm because of one weak link. They had three presenters. We were so IMPRESSED with two of the presenters, one being a Latino who had such great insights about the Latino flair we wanted in the design of our school. Yet, the third presenter with whom we would be working most closely presented so poorly we just couldn't feel comfortable going with their firm. It is so sad that they lost out because of this one person, but often that is the way it is.
This experience was a great reminder that everyone associated with Esperanza represents Esperanza, and we can't afford for anyone to be a weak link.
