Hello Wonderful EAP Family!

Thank you to all who took our EMERGENCE 2016 survey. We are processing the results and you will find the results once we release the program information before the special day in May! Only time will tell...

In other news, our Wednesday blog salon comes to a close this week! How can an interim position ready the staff to welcome and engage a new leader? What are some building blocks staff can use to reimagine their organization? Read about it in Interim Director of Southern Exposure and Managing Director of Rhythm and Motion, Leigh Lehman published her recent post, In Times of Transition: Reflection Over Direction. Give us a like, share, comment, ...or even a reflection!

Until next time,
