Just That Old Sweet Song...

By: Jackie Mills,  Co-Recruitment Director, District IV

Ever wonder what goes on behind closed doors?
See my Top Five!

Maybe it was the Southern accents or the blast of humidity that told me I was officially in Atlanta! (Possibly the Savannah Candy Company in the terminal with fresh pralines too. Ha Ha!)

This is me with some of my favorite ADPis.
Classy and fabulous always!

Every time I come back to Atlanta, it feels like home. Leadership Seminars (and Grand Conventions too) are like coming back home to see your old friends--and picking up where you left off without skipping a beat!

Today was a jam-packed day of meetings in individual programming teams for IOs. Want to know what goes on behind-the-scenes? 

Here's my Top Five for Friday!

1.    Programming teams had approximately eight hours to meet. (Whoa!) In our RD Session, we had a list of objectives, prioritized and delegated projects, and brainstormed about new marketing ideas. (Be excited! Fun things are always in the works!)

2.    Your favorite RDs also met with the Panhellenic Relations Directors (PRDs) to review Release Figure Method (RFM) procedures and statistics. This was super helpful information--and will be great for setting goals with chapters this year. (Watch for that, RVPs!)

3.    In between sessions, of course a quick trip to Gift Mart was necessary (50% off? Holla!) Of course, we all had to have a meal break and glam it up for the all-Leadership Seminar picture. (I'm way in the back. Look for the pink and pearls when it is online.)

ADPis love to shop, especially when everything is on sale!

4.    Meeting face-to-face was super fun and energizing--the RDs were able to bounce ideas off once another, troubleshoot issues, and remind ourselves of why we love recruitment so much. Basically, we laughed. A lot. We even ended up having dinner with the Total Membership Education (TME) Directors to brainstorm on overlapping areas. Yay for being productive!

      5.    And...waking up for 8:30 AM meetings is SO worth it to hang out with cool RDs. (Please reference the picture of Ryan Gosling.)

I am LOVING my time in ATL! As always, be sure to say "Hi!" and follow me at @JackieSueMills.
