Details
General Session
The morning’s general session will be a chance to hear from our agency’s leaders about updates for the year to come and highlights from the past year. We’ll also have a chance to celebrate successes and honor our years of service award recipients.

PechaKucha Presentations
 
Our afternoon will be spent learning from one another during PechaKucha-style presentations (6 minute, 40 second presentations with images and lively storytelling). There are time slots for you to see up to five presentations from your colleagues. 
United Way
We will kick off our annual United Way campaign again this year at the All-Staff meeting. We are counting on you to once again pledge record support to United Way, so they can in turn support communities through education, income and health initiatives! Watch your tables for pledge forms to begin pledging your support on Sept. 9. Everyone (whether you donate to United Way or not) will have the chance to fill out a form to get your name in a drawing for some great gift cards! 




Benefits/Wellness Fair
The Benefits/Wellness Fair will be held from 11:30 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Many of our past vendors will again be on hand, including our flu shot nurses! The Fair will be held in the atrium area of the hotel (look for the waterfall) and in the hallway next to the ballroom.

Dress for the Day: Agency Spirit! 

We're adding a twist to our regular business casual dress for the All-Staff Meeting—show your agency spirit! You can wear your agency colors — purple or green—or a logo shirt from Lands' End or your regional, department or wellness t-shirt. Whatever you choose, we encourage you to proudly display your Heartland AEA pride (but no jeans, please)!



Fill in the Tables
Please make every attempt to fill the chairs at every table. Please do not move chairs around from table to table, either. We would like to avoid having to scramble to find a place for everyone to sit.

Carpool
Spend some more time with your co-workers—carpooling is encouraged!
