Every October the MTM Annual Members’ Meeting is held. This October was no different. On Thursday, October 17th, 120 MTM members gathered at the Inn at St. John’s in Plymouth. The annual meeting starts at 11 A.M., includes an excellent lunch put on by the St. John’s staff and then 90 minutes of presentations. The goal of the meeting is to bring timely information to the members. This year’s topics were: Maintaining a Safe and Drug Free Workplace presented by Lori Schuck Barresi from Allied Safety Consultants. The second presentation was Creating a Safety and Security Plan for your Business by Darcy Leutzinger and Lindsay Gietzen from Premier Safety Group. Lots of questions from members about drug policy and situations were received. And the Safety and Security issues of the day kept the members’ attention.
The program also included a 5 minute update on MTM financials and outlook for member dividends payable in March, 2020. So far, so good was the message on 2019 loss results. One other congratulatory honor was announced, Karen Schluckebier, Director of Human Resources for StageRight is retiring and looking forward to spending much more time in Florida. She has been a valuable MTM Board member for 5 ½ years. We are sad to see her leave. Of course no meeting is complete without door prizes. Here’s the list of prizes given to attendees:
- Airline tickets w/ suitcase
- iPad
- Gift Card Tree
- Inn at St. John’s stay with breakfast
- $100 Gift Card
- Amethyst Bracelets
- $100 Gift Card for early registration
- And 13 attendees won $25 Gift Cards
As tradition has it the meeting closes with a music video and picture montage of pictures from the past year. Many from the MTM dividend deliveries from March and April 2019.
Staff celebrates the success of the Annual Members’ Meeting for a day or two, then we critique – what could we improve and the planning starts for next year. So mark your calendars. October 15th, 11 A.M. at the Inn at St. John’s, Plymouth will be the time and location of next year’s meeting. Hope you can attend.
