Medical Dinner

The second week of February mostly consisted of organizing papers. My days are a little bit slower now that I have just finished my big project with Driver Provider. However, I did take on a small project which helped to make the week a little more educational.

On February 12th, I assisted a meeting planner with a medical dinner she was organizing at a restaurant in Phoenix close to the Arizona Biltmore. We had about 40 professionals attend the dinner. My responsibility was to check in those who had RSVP'd and write the names of the walk-ins on the waiting list. Some lady did not want to wait for 30 minutes to find out whether or not she would be able to attend the dinner, so she left unsatisfied. Prior to opening up registration, I helped place materials on the chairs. There was an instance where we were trying to figure out how to prevent people from sitting at the booths. I suggested to put a placard on the table that read "Reserved." I also collected Speaker Evaluation Forms.

It was a pretty long 4 hours, but easy money. I happened to bump into some nurse practitioners that I used to work with at a cardiologist's office. At the end of my shift, I received a free meal and dessert. Plus, I made one new contact in the audio and visual field. I hope that I get to work more of these medical dinners!
