This year’s BOOST Program for early career professionals at THMA has been a remarkable success. Participants have gained invaluable skills, expanded their networks, and accelerated their career growth. One of our participants, Sydney Williams, shared her experience: "The most valuable aspect of the BOOST program for me is the safe space it provides to share my past and present job experiences and make connections with others like me at THMA. BOOST has given me the confidence to stand up for myself in my work, to understand how to use my working style to my advantage and how to work well with others. The program also gave me an opportunity to be transparent with my managers about what I am feeling and issues that bother me in my personal and professional life. Not only has the program made a difference in my professional life, but it has also made a difference in my personal life. The sessions on self-awareness and emotional regulation at work were game changers for me personally, providing tips and tricks on how to navigate situations where my emotions might try to get the best of me." We are incredibly proud of all our BOOST participants for their dedication and commitment throughout this program. We look forward to seeing the impact they will continue to make at THMA.

Externally, we lean into member feedback to craft exceptional and relevant programming experiences that truly resonate with our community in the healthcare landscape. By actively listening and responding to our members' needs and suggestions, we ensure our programming is impactful, relevant, and engaging.
