UW Certificate - Check!

Just a bit of exciting news to announce. The checking of another List Item --- to get my University of Washington, Foster School of Business Marketing Management Certificate!! After a year of classes, I've finally completed it and just received the diploma in the mail the other day. The graduation ceremony is tomorrow (Thursday 6/17) but I will likely not be in attendance - just seems silly to sit through a graduation ceremony at this point and life is currently keeping me really busy!

The program included three classes - the last being a practicum where we worked in groups with a local business (A&H Pharmacy, a great family owned Pharmacy/Home Medical Equipment/Pharmaceutical Services business). It went amazing and was such a good experience helping a small, local business develop a customized marketing strategy. Here is some of what the President had to say:

It was good to have a group of enthusiastic marketers look at where we are and show us the possibilities of where we could be. We unanimously thought the project was a wonderful success. Our satisfaction with the project partly comes from seeing 6 people dedicated, curious, and enthused to move our operations to a higher level. That type of positive energy is contagious and I think we got it!

Excited to have had the experience, to continue to grow, and to help a local family owned company along the way!
