Be Aggressive! B-E Agressive!!

Last week was very exciting and busy. We had two programs. The first was the Wells Fargo Program from the 8th to the 10th. For this program I learned how to hire staff and what the policies were when we did not have enough. I saw a fellow classmate had the same event on her blog:) That was cool to read her take on the event. I saw it from the behind the scenes. I saw how proposals and contracts were sent back and forth; how staff was hired and prepared the paper work they needed. When our client asked for additional staff the week of the program we contacted Wing Team and asked for their help with the staffing. This is how my classmate came to staff our program. I thought that was cool and how small the industry can be.

The "Grunt' Work

In the midst of this three-day program we were preparing for one of our most important clients Krisam Summit. They are the sister company to our partners Global Events Partners (GEP). This program had a good mixture of activities to help me learn how things were done. I learned how a schedule of services works and prepared one, as well as put together a hotel resume. For this group I truely played the part of the intern. I drove to Tempe to get ice chests for the busses and back. I went shopping for the water and alcohol which took two baskets along with a stock boy to help me with. Then I picked up ice and packed the coolers with water and beer. Loaded them up in my car and took them to our transportation company. Everyone kept saying thank you for going to get that, thank you for doing that. I thought it wasn't necessary, after all I'm the intern and it's my job. I as more than willing to go and happy to help. Everyone was very appreciative and I got to learn that my boss once had a cooler company and thats all he did all day.
