If you could improve one thing about our HM11 planning for moving forward into future annual meeting planning, what would it be?

Week Two

The environment here has been very dedicated and committed to accomplishing everything that HM11 entails. Since I got here, I've probably heard the words 'Annual meeting' close to a thousand times. The workload has been heavy and everyone seems busy at all times. In order to get our work down, communication has been a large aspect of our success. Taking the time to verify things and ask questions can save a lot of time that would have been wasted otherwise. Everyone seems to be on the same page as far as collaboration and no one is left in the dark with what is going on. As we get closer to HM11, things will surely become more hectic and teamwork will play a big role into getting the job done.

Semana dos

It's insane around here. You can really tell that everyone is working their hardest to pull the numbers up for the meeting. Even though it's busy everyone is still really fun to work with and I'm happy that I have a lot of work to do. I had an interesting week... I think I may be qualified to get my real estate licesnse after the project I did for Todd. It was definitely different and not what I would ever expect to ever do here but I actually did enjoy it (side note: if anyone is interested in moving to Cherry Hill, Moorestown, Fairmount Park, Center City, Chestnut Hill, Ardmore, or Haverford, come to me I can tell you everything about anything regarding those places :] ). Other than my real estate adventure I've learned a lot about membership and I'm quickly learning how much the department has on their plate all the time. I'm excited to start diving into more in-depth projects and working with everyone to help them out and to see what else we can do to make the meeting the best that it can be. P.S Meesh, my Spanish is better than yours ;)

Week Numero Dos

Over the past week, when friends and family inquire about my work experience at SHM, I usually mention the word "busy" first. It's not to say that I don't love the people or the environment but I think 'busy' is the most appropriate term for our current status. I almost feel like an elf at Santa's workshop around Thanksgiving time. "One more month until Christmas everyone, let's get a move on with these toys!" Along the lines of living with a busy schedule is the timeline/deadline aspect - I'm learning to appreciate the art of working under pressure... and by appreciate I mean master (hopefully...eventually).

Week 2

Over in QI everyone is working hard on their projects. As Tori had also stated, collaboration is key. Each member of the QI team is continuously helping one another to manage and improve their own projects. Currently I am working with Joanne, gathering information and surveyingn cardiac arrest resuscitation practices in US hospitals. I believe that QI will successfully make it through this busy time because everyone is working together strongly!

What I've Learned

Being immersed in the craziness of HM11 has showed me the importance of collaboration. Whether we are in an Art meeting or Department meeting, everyone is throwing ideas off of eachother and I think that it is how we are coming up with such great ideas. I love the open atmosphere of SHM and I think we will reach our HM11 registration targets if we continue to work together!

Week 2

So you all started at a very busy time for us - Annual Meeting time. Our registrations are a bit behind when tracking compared to HM10, so we have been busting our butts to improve that in anyway possible.

When you interviewed here, we, more likely than not, told you that there are times where we get together and just brainstorm and work as a team to improve how we are currently doing.

As for you, Alyse, I'm not sure how busy QI is over there around this time, but let us know what it's like!

What have you learned about this busy time, so far? (It's not over yet!)
