    Melody continues to be an asset to the NISC contract and FAA AJG-R. Her attention to detail and pride in her work has made her a trusted advisor to her client. She is creative in her support and it does not go unnoticed. Melody uses industry research and historical client data she has captured while on the contract to create pitch decks for her events. These are presented to her client for their personalized selection of the style event they hope to achieve with cost savings and other innovative techniques incorporated into options. She delivers a hybrid method of events consisting of three cities who gather in-person and connect virtually with other colleagues around the country serving as a facilitator, host, script writer, promotions lead, and behind the scenes events director. She manages these events remotely as an on camera host and technical facilitator while simultaneously communicating with leadership, staff, and vendors through Zoom chat, MS Teams Chat, text messaging, phone calls, and email - WOW! Her client recently sent an email commending her leadership on the end of year celebration for the group. "The End of Year Celebration is very important to the leadership of AJG-R to be able to show their appreciation to our staff for the hard work they have done over the prior year. Melody came up with ideas for the meeting and worked with our leadership team to bring her ideas to fruition. This included planning and coordination of who would do what on October 5. We had a potluck lunch followed by a trivia contest hosted by an outside vendor, who did an excellent job. Both of the meetings were extraordinary successes as everything worked as planned, on schedule, and our staff enjoyed both greatly. Again, thanks to Melody for planning, preparing, coordinating and executing the lunch and the entertainment. Our leadership team feels it was mission accomplished!" - Brittany Merrill

The ATO Leadership Summit is next week and Management Services has been assigned with short notice to build 5 Virtual Booths of the products and services that we provide. Although Melody was assigned to our one booth in AJG-R, she stepped into the role to organize all 5 booths, organizing and developing a corporate approach to our Service Units display of processes, images, and delivery as “One voice”. Please pass this along as well as thank Melody for seeing the big picture and helping us deliver our AJG message."

  • Bronze Award for Collective Ingenuity

    Booz Allen Hamilton

    I have been impressed with Melody's efforts over the past month to recruit female Booz Allen instructors to support DOT ITSA course deliveries. Melody saw an area of improvement and took it upon herself to fill the gap by adding female instructors to the current all-male instructor list for the project. Her efforts have promoted diversity and inclusion at the firm and for the client and serve as a valuable tool to enhance program success. Kudos to Melody for taking the time not only to speak…
