Anna and I spent the rest of the morning working on the proposal, listing the advantages a partnership could bring and identifying companies that might be suitable candidates.
When it was time for the meeting with the rest of the team, we gathered our documents and headed to the conference room.
By the time we arrived, everyone was already seated.
"Good afternoon, everyone," I greeted as I took my place at the front of the room.
"Good afternoon, Director Alicia," they replied in unison.
"As you all know, we've been discussing the possibility of pursuing partnerships to support the growth of our new clothing brand."
Several people nodded.
"And now, with the difficulties our farmers are facing, we have an even stronger reason to consider outside cooperation."
"Does that mean it's already been approved?" someone asked.
I shook my head.
