Let me know if you have additional questions or concerns Love you all Here is Melissa's Letter: Hello my name is Melissa Roberts and I would like to give you a little background on who I am. My passion for giving back, love of community, positive outlook, goal mindedness along with my business sense and the connections to other businesses and organizations are just some of my strengths. These skills and connections are what will help guide me through the year as Empress 41. I have been a straight supporter of the GLBTQ community for a little over 20 years mainly through the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire and Gay Pride Pageantry. I have worked in many different aspects of the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire building sets, running backrooms for shows, and anything else you can think of that needed to get done. I was Marquisa 31 under Empress Kiki Monroe and most recently I was honored to be Princess Royale 39 under Martini Monroe. I have worked very hard to make many positive impressions and working relationships with many organizations and individuals in our community. I have also been a member of the ICRME Board of Directors for the past 2 years. I am proud of the great relationships with other GLBT organizations and businesses that I have been able to create, along with non GLBT businesses and individuals. Over the past 20 years I have been a part of raising money for many different charities such as Urban Peak, PFLAG, Denver Children’s Advocacy Center, Colorado Aids Project, CAP Food Bank, C.H.I.P, the White Rose Scholarship Foundation and many many more charities. My goals for the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire are simple. 1. To implement a new outlook on fundraising and events. a. By partnering with other businesses, organizations and/ or charities we can create larger more profitable events. b. Having more family friendly events in the day and age when lots of men and women have children. We need to think of how to let families be involved with the good work we do. c. Using the talents and creative energy of all aspects of the communities involved we can change the face of normal fundraising events. 2. Creating a positive look of the ICRME a. Working with the board of directors to take the CHARGE of positive modeling and Team building skills. To work together with all people involved to create a better understanding of the needs of our organizations to better our future and those who work with us. b. Working within the community to have a better understanding of what they need and how we can help them also achieve their goals. 3. Building on the stepping stones of our past to create a stronger future. a. Working with the youth to build a bridge of understanding and commitment to the ICRME and its mission in order to help create a sustainable future for our organization. b. Youth mentorship group in order to groom and teach by developing strong relationships between them and the ICRME.
