Thank you Chris, Ronda, and Brian!

I’m back from Korea after a two-week trip to visit with my wife’s family and I couldn’t have done it without my team.

Chris, Ronda, and Brian provided back-up learning design support for all of my live sections while I was away. Our office has unofficially provided coverage in the past when people went out on vacation, but this was the first summer where we put into action my plans to establish a formal list of back-up learning designers for each course. This was a way to provide contingencies when someone was unavailable. This is one way I’ve been trying to break-down barriers between designers and work more cohesively and consistently.

I should also mention Laura and Trisha and the rest of the Production team. Of course, I want to thank Amy as well for her support as the Director. She has done the most to build this team and awesome working environment.

I don’t mean to sound like I’m accepting an award, but I am very thankful for such an awesome team of folks to work with. They are my second family.
