🌟 Spotlight on Recognition! 🌟 At Team Calderwood, we believe in the power of a simple 'thank you' or a well-timed shout-out. In the fast-paced world of meetings and events, recognizing the hard work and creativity of our team and peers isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential. Why? Because recognition does wonders. It boosts morale, fosters teamwork, and shows we value each other beyond just the hustle. It’s about acknowledging the human effort behind every success, making our collective journey brighter. Let’s make every opportunity to uplift one another count. From a quick note to a social media shout-out, or even a formal accolade, every gesture contributes to a culture of appreciation and excellence within our industry. 🎉 🏆 PS: With the Canadian Meetings + Events Expo (CMEE)'s Hall of Fame Awards on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to nominate someone outstanding in the meetings and events space. It’s more than just giving them a moment in the spotlight; it’s a heartfelt 'thank you' and a recognition of their contribution to our vibrant industry.

Southern Oregon colleagues: Please consider joining us at Women's Leadership Connection Conference in May! Two things to flag from Miranda's post below: (1) scholarships are still available (and are NOT just for students--so if a scholarship would be helpful for you, please apply!), and (2) this year, we'll have a Marketplace for women who would like to share more about their small (or large!) business--link to applications below. It's a quick one-day conference (with a networking happy hour the evening before)--and a nice opportunity to meet other professional women outside your field and in your "neighborhood."

How should you show up at an association event or conference? I had the privilege of attending the LeadingAge California BOLD Age Annual Conference this week. Jeannee Parker Martin, Kevin Tuuaga, Soua Vang, and so many others orchestrated a remarkable environment that fostered learning, growth, and most importantly, a sense of community among industry professionals. As a sales professional, I've often pondered about the best way to approach these events. What are my priorities? What do I hope to gain? What can I contribute? These questions have led me to some valuable insights over the years. Let me offer three suggestions . . . 1) Focus on making friends. Over the course of the 10 years that I have attended this conference, I've made lifelong friends. Individuals who would share a meal with me, visit me in the hospital if I was sick, and join me in celebrating some of the significant accomplishments of my life. This is the real value of these conferences—the friendships you develop over the years. 2) Make a contribution. Mary Muñoz from Ziegler received the Award of Honor because of her contribution to the association and its members over her long and distinguished career. I was inspired by how she “led to” and worked with the members side by side to elevate the experience of older adults. Yes, she sold her service and earned some business along the way, but not because of her slick one-minute pitch, but because she used her gifts, skills, and abilities to make a contribution to the members of the association. 3) Offer encouragement. Instead of leading with what you do, commend others for their work, their contribution to the industry, and their impact on others' lives. Most people don’t hear those things often enough (thank you, Tiffany Karlin) Play the long game. Invest. Help. Encourage. Support. And then, I think you'll find that good business, the right business, comes as a result.
