Day 4 – Energyficient Annual Training – Department Breakouts
Our last and final day of training concluded with smaller breakouts and personalized hands-on training. Each department spent hours on a deep dive collaboration to discuss processes, suggest improvements, and tackle problems.
After a long and informative morning, we took a fun break to work out way through more teambuilding exercises. ILP was then on site to showcase their latest products and sponsor an excellent lunch from Chick-fil-A.
An exciting guest joined us for the afternoon. Chris Lee with Des Moines County Conservation took time to inspire us with a Keynote speech – “Take this Job and Love it” and we sure loved having him.
We wrapped up our seminar with a candid roundtable discussion with our President and CEO Chad Palmer. We reflected on a week of learning, workshopping, team building, and getting to know each other.
For the grand finale, we made sure to show our EFS team members one of Burlington’s special treasures. We could not be more grateful to Wade Johnson of MaxLite for hosting our night out at Martini's Grille. We enjoyed good company, great food, and incredible views of Burlington.
Thanks to everyone who showed up, worked hard, and made this week possible. Another big Thank You to the Greater Burlington Partnershipfor hosting us all week. Here’s to another year of growth and success!
