Final Report:

Can't believe that today our final report is due. This signifies so much; no more classes, no more papers, no more exams and graduation! Where has the time gone? I just want to congratulate everyone on completing their internships and moving forward with their lives, whether that be continuing your education or developing a career.

New Beginnings...

Well today was my first day as official Greater Phoenix Convention and Visitors Bureau employee and it has been off to a great start, beginning the day with flowers from my new manager! I had more of my in-processing papers to fill out, health insurance, life insurance, A-4, W-4, 401k etc... It really clicked that I am that close to being done with school and having work as my top priority.

I also had my final interview for my final report today with Janis Thomas, my director in Convention Services and Housing. She has been with the bureau longer than anyone else, since 1975 when the bureau was established. She is such a wonderful role model of where the GPCVB can take you. She started out as the Executive Assistant to the President and CEO and now she is far beyond that position. She also gave me words of encouragement and told me how far she thinks I will go in this company. Definitely a great start to a first day at my new career. The future is looking mighty bright, I'd have to say :)

9 days until graduation!
