Hallelujah, It almost feels like we are returning to a bit of normal. More networking meetings are happening IN PERSON, and every day more providers are sending in their events to post on our website. More senior centers and libraries are opening and that makes it much easier for families to pick up copies of the resource guide. I have never been so excited about “work". I have definitely struggled the past year to feel motivated and feel like we make a difference. I have learned that I do better with a tight schedule than with more flexibility. I apparently need to always know "what is next” and the past year did not provide that at all.
There are a few ways that our team will work different now:
1) We are making a change to the Transitions of Care zoom meeting. Over the past 6 months, we have been hosting these meetings for providers and case managers from different hospitals and regions. We have decided to change to a bi-monthly ALL region meeting. Starting in August, the Transitions of Care meeting will be held every month and last ONLY 30 minutes but will include updates for hospitals covering both Oregon and Washington states.
2) Last week, Erin and I started hosting weekly “20 minute meet ups” with our sponsors. It has been a great way to reconnect, as well as make some new introductions. The feedback was very positive- so we decided to make this an ongoing plan. For more information or to schedule with me directly- here is the link: https://retirementconnection.com/meetup
3) Although I am sick of zoom meetings, I do feel it is a good tool for an intro conversation. Now that more people are familiar with the platform- we plan to use zoom in place of phone calls for a more personal connection when possible.
4) We will continue the quarterly VIRTUAL resource fairs with the hospitals.
