MEPAP 1 & 2 Starts the 1st Tuesday of the Month --------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Great news from Lisa Drew (ME1&2 alumna) Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2019 15:41:27 +0000 (UTC) Dear Kathy-- I finished my MEPAP2 this past November and I'm moved to write and tell you that before I've even had a chance to take my NCCAP exam, I've been offered an amazing job! I will be opening and running the Life Enrichment Department at a new AL & Memory Care facility opening in the Spring here in the Nashville, TN area. It was absolutely a direct result of the work I did and the information and knowledge I got in your two courses that I was able to step up and demonstrate how prepared I was to run a department. I had forms and lists and ideas and plans and even a job summary for hiring an assistant I was able to present on my very first interview. More importantly, finishing the courses gave me a tremendous amount of confidence. Where I am today from where I was a year ago before starting the course is incredible. You gave me what I needed to get the job of my dreams. And even though it's not a regulation that I be an ADC for this position, I am sending in all my paperwork this weekend and will sit for the exam as soon as I can arrange it. Thank you again for the life-changing classes. Please feel free to use this letter as a testimonial for the course if you wish. Sincerely, Lisa ............................................... Subject: Re: Great news from Lisa Drew (ME1&2 alumna) Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2019 16:13:34 -0800 Hello Lisa, Congratulations! I am so proud of you. Let us know how the new job is going!Kathy
