So, today I went to my first P&P meeting for my internship at the Burlington Business Association. It was at Madera's on Main Street, in dowtown Burlington. The meeting was actually very interesting. Only 8 of us were there, but that made it easier for us to discuss the items on our agenda. First we discussed ideas for our membership meeting that is happening on November 6th (my birthday!!) Our first idea is to have the theme be "Customer Relationship Management." So, going with that theme we were all tossing out ideas for the meeting and who could be panelists. However, later in our meeting someone mentioned seeing a presentation by Vermonters for Economic Health. Everyone thought that sounded also like a great idea for our meeting on the 6th. Therefore, right now, we haven't picked a solid topic because everyone wants to research the Vermonters group and see if they think they would be a good meeting to host.
After talking about our meeting coming up, we next talked about our Holiday Social which is going to be on December 4th. Since working at this internship, I've been helping with a lot of planning for it, which my supervisors mentioned! :) They said I did a good job typing up all of the notes from our previous meeting. We quickly went over a bunch of topics concerning the holiday social. I'll be doing more work on that over the next couple of weeks. I'm excited to go to the social because I think it will a great opportunity for me to network, especially since I graduate in December!
Overall, it was a great meeting and I look forward to our meeting tomorrow with the Waterfront Action Group. One of my favorite parts of my internship is that I get to go to all these meetings. So far I've been to a Board of Directors meeting, a Membership meeting, the P&P meeting, and tomorrow will be the WAG meeting.
