President’s Message
Building
good
relationships
in
the
workplace
is
in
many
ways
similar
to
building
good
relationships
outside
of
work.
Similar
to
making
friends
in
your
neighborhood
or
at
church,
you
need
to
get
a
good
feel
for
the
culture,
and
then
rely
on
some
common
sense.
February
is
known
as
the
month
for
love
and
relationships.
I
recently
read
some
tips
for
building
quality
relationships
in
the
office,
with
the
neighbors,
or
in
your
family.
*Do
not
try
too
hard.
Anyone
who
comes
across
as
too
eager,
whether
at
work
or
in
another
type
of
relationship,
could
turn
people
off.
When
you
try
too
hard,
you
might
come
across
as
pushy.
Take
time
to
listen
to
others.
*Earn
people’s
respect.
One
way
to
build
your
connections
at
work
is
through
your
attitude,
quality
of
work
and
reliability.
*Do
not
rely
on
email
alone.
Email
is
so
popular
these
days,
but
it
is
somewhat
impersonal.
Make
an
extra
effort
to
actually
talk
to
a
person.
Pick
up
the
phone
or
stop
by
to
visit.
Face
to
face
interaction
is
key
for
solid
relationships.
*Seek
to
understand
others.
Try
to
be
patient
and
seek
to
understand
where
they
are
coming
from.
*Do
what
you
say
you
will
do.
One
of
the
best
ways
to
build
a
relationship
with
someone
is
to
do
the
things
you
say
you
will
do.
Commitment
and
reliability
will
foster
relationships.
*Do
not
whine.
Be
as
positive
and
friendly
as
you
can
and
people
will
naturally
be
drawn
to
you.
The
February
luncheon
topic
is
“Going
for
Goals”.
This
is
a
perfect
topic
to
rejuvenate
our
New
Year’s
resolutions.
I
hope
to
see
many
of
you
at
the
luncheon!

“One of most universally applicable things I talk about, and the central theme to my book,
relates to the key factors in achieving a goal, like business growth (or job search),
etc. Specifically, every person on their way to a goal experiences the following:
• Spark of inspiration
• Formation an idea or hypothesis on a goal to achieve
• Decision to act or not act
• If we act, there will inevitably be obstacles
• We sometimes get stuck - invalidated assumptions, real problems and hurdles
• How do we get unstuck
• Creative Problems Solving - how to use divergent and convergent thinking
• Getting market feedback as we act and get unstuck
• Synthesizing that information
• Adjusting our hypothesis based on the new information
• Continuing action

8. This is a thank you note we received from one of the Thank
scholarship recipients from last year. you
Ladies,
In November I completed my Law Enforcement Officer
certification at BATC, thanks to a generous WIB scholarship. It was
quite a journey. The academy began in late May. On the first day it
was clear that I was a bit older than the other 21 males in the class
who had been attending the other sections since January. Being the
only female and the matron was interesting. I held my own during
the miles and miles of running, endless pushups and sit-ups. I was
beat up and bruised during the baton and defensive tactics
training, but I survived. Defensive tactics was the most challenging
as it is a personal weakness. I was often paired with the biggest
guy in the class (a mere 250 lbs) to prove that even the smallest
person could fight their way out of a situation. And the classwork
was as challenging as any college class, but twice as interesting.
The completion of my last law enforcement certificate allows me to
move anywhere in the Cache County Sheriff's Office, as Sheriff
Nelson sees fit. It also provides me with a new knowledge base
that helps me understand the entire law enforcement picture more
clearly. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity that you have
provided to me. It was a great experience, but I am glad I never
have to do it again.
Respectfully,
Holly

10. Did$you$know…$
Research published in the Journal of Pain &
Symptom Management found that: terminally-ill
patients who received hospice care lived on
average 29 days longer than those who did not
opt for hospice near the end of life.
Our Hospice Team offers specialized knowledge & support at the end of life just as
obstetricians & midwives lend support & expertise at the start of life.
Hospice can reduce anxiety in both the terminally ill patient & their family by helping them make the
most of the time remaining & achieve some level of acceptance.
When terminally ill patients make the decision to receive hospice care instead of continued curative treatment,
they avoid the dangers of over-treatment.
In-home care from a hospice team often means the patient receives greater monitoring than he or she would
in a hospital.
In addition to focusing on the physical health & comfort of a patient, our hospice team also focuses on the
emotional needs & spiritual well-being of the terminally ill & their loved ones.
Since we offer substantial support & training for family caregivers, it also helps many patients feel less of a
burden to their loved ones.

"Mobile Friendly or Mobile Apps? Creating a Sound

Today's mobile strategies involve much more than an
application on an array of smart devices. Your mobile
strategy can have implications for everything from your
primary web properties, existing and future databases and
the mobile applications they support and serve.
This presentation will cover three key things to consider:
Mobile Friendly Web
Database Considerations
