Innovative Idea Champion Eva Margolis was one of the many stars of the Innovation Marketplace at the 2010 Assets Learning Conference. She was also one of the inspirational innovators who shared their “assets moment” visions in the Opening Plenary. She recently let us know about her move to a new position in the following letter:

Eva Margolis

Dear Colleagues,

I hope this finds you all well! I may have had the chance to speak with you informally about my departure from AccountAbility Minnesota (AAM), but I wanted to write to formally express my gratitude, share my excitement for this new opportunity, and reassure you that AAM’s financial services initiatives will not be affected by this transition. I will greatly miss working for AAM, which has always been an organization I deeply believe in and have enjoyed working for. I am thankful for the opportunities to grow personally and professionally during my 5 years with the agency, and I am especially grateful to have worked with such inspiring, insightful minds –especially regarding asset development and financial empowerment! Please know that I have deep respect for your work and the services you provide to communities.

I regret leaving AAM at the height of tax season and in the middle of the exciting work we are doing around asset building and increasing access to financial services. However, the opportunity to continue similar work through the Eastside Financial Center, which is a program of Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, was rare and one that I could not pass up. I am looking forward to continuing the work towards economic justice and expanding access to underserved communities in this new capacity. My last day of employment with AAM will be March 4, 2011. During this transition time, I will be working closely with Tracy Fischman, our Executive Director, to ensure our programmatic and operational requirements continue to be met after my departure.

It truly has been a pleasure working with you through AAM and I look forward to keeping in contact with you through my new role.

With great respect,

Eva

We wish Eva the best and look forward to staying connected with her in her new role. We also will continue to feature the innovative work of AccountAbility Minnesota, especially with respect to connecting low-income households with asset-building opportunities at tax time.
