I am honored to be leaving tomorrow [07/18/09] for Barbados as keynote speaker for the TRSI Barbados graduation next week. I am very excited to return to this beautiful island and highly suggest it as a vacation destination for everyone. The people are friendly, the weather is perfect, the waters are so clear you can see at least 35 feet down, the food is wonderful, and the opportunity to spend time with medical transcription students once more is the icing on the cake for me. I know how excited they all are to be graduating and entering the workforce and I can't wait to share the excitement with them.
I no sooner get back from Barbados than I fly to Nashville for ACE. This 31st Annual Meeting promises to be filled with amazing educational opportunities, first class speakers, networking, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. I hope to see many of you there and if I do, please let me know you are reading this blog -- I sometimes wonder just how many people actually read it!

HOOSIER STATE WELCOMES MILITARY SPOUSES
Although the attendance was not what we had hoped for, the IN/KY Regional members came out in force for a military spouse informational in Columbus, Indiana followed by a couple of creditworthy presentations and a KB demonstration.
I arrived on Thursday and was picked up at the airport by Patty Brown, IPP of IN/KY and taken to LuAnn Guilfoyle's [new delegate] beautiful home for a fabulous dinner, then back to the Holiday Inn Express. The next morning we all got busy setting up the room for the MSI and then went to the outlet mall -- it doesn't get any better than that, does it?
I was most impressed by the MTIA member company participation with three schools represented: Andrews & Holbrook, Tranz-Med, and TRSi. In addition, several other MTIA member companies, including Expert Medical Transcription [EMT], sent brochures which were placed with the hand-outs for attendees. Let's not forget Tania Mercurio of Operation Life Transformed [OLT] who had an opportunity to talk to the spouses and the members present.
A special thanks goes out to Sheryl Williams [LIG chair], who provided me with those wonderful "Thank-You" cards that we handed out at Advocacy Summit. Those were a huge hit with the spouses and everyone else too, especially the thank-you for military families. Tania took a bunch of those with her to hand out to those military families she meets during her work on their behalf.
Thanks also to Sherry Doggett, the IN/KY Board Partner who attended and assisted in a big way. Sherry lives not too far away and plans on participating in more IN/KY functions in the future including a career fair at Camp Atterbury in October.
This was a wonderful weekend for me in a beautiful state and my appreciation goes out to LuAnn Guilfoyle, Patty Brown, and the rest of the IN/KY membership for supporting this very important AHDI initiative and for making me feel so welcome.
