Spot Light On...

Colorado Technical University

Are you looking to turn a new leaf or further your skill set through education?

By Jayme Holligan

In 1965, Colorado Technical University was established in Colorado Springs. The University has expanded to six campuses as well as the online division with a total of approximately 35,000 students. Aside from Colorado Springs, there are two campuses in Denver, one in Pueblo, Kansas City and Sioux Falls. CTU offers Associates to Doctorate degree programs in five areas of study: The College of Health Sciences, Criminal and Public Administration, Business and Management, Engineering and Computer Science, and Information Systems and Technology. Be sure to check out www.coloradotech.edu to learn more about how to get your degree started and further your career.

In June 2009, Jayme Holligan became an Admissions Advisor at the Colorado Technical University in Colorado Springs. Her role is to help students select a degree program and enroll in school. She finds it very rewarding to impact the lives of individuals that want to better themselves. Before starting as an Admissions Advisor, Jayme worked for seven years as a Staffing Manager at ADD STAFF, Inc. The staffing industry enabled Jayme to obtain inside and outside sales skills as well as community relations experience.

Jayme was born and raised in Colorado Springs, attended Palmer High School, and was an active member of the National Charity League.  She obtained a Bachelor of Science in Journalism with an emphasis in Advertising from the University of Colorado at Boulder.  During college she was selected for the College Program internship at Disney World in Orlando.  This opportunity allowed Jayme to learn the principles of customer service that she still applies to her current position today.  After graduating, she worked as an Account Coordinator for Cramer-Krasselt which is an advertising agency in Orlando.  Working in advertising was fascinating, but she realized that her passion was connecting with people.  Jayme decided to move back to Colorado Springs, and settle into the business community where she still works today. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with family, traveling, and playing tennis.

Aside from EWI, Jayme is a board member of CommonWorks which is a non-profit that provides support to adults with developmental disabilities, at risk-youth, as well as foster care, and adoption services. She is involved with Leadership Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs Young Professionals, and Pastoral Council at St. Patrick's church. Jayme is a 2008 Leadership Pikes Peak graduate and received the 2009 Colorado Springs Business Journal Rising Star award.

Jayme truly enjoys the fellowship and professional development opportunities that EWI has to offer. She is thrilled to surround herself with the dynamic women in our local chapter.  Jayme can be reached at Colorado Technical University 719-590-6835 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

 
President's Message

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

We started this year in a Treasure Chest. I challenged you to put something into the EWI Treasure Chest and see what you would get out of it. I hope you took me up on that challenge. You are the glitter. You are the gold of EWI. I thank you for allowing me to serve as your leader for the past twelve months.

Last September, we had a guest speaker at our Board Retreat, Alane Pearce. Alane said something in her remarks about teamwork and collaboration that I have carried with me all year. She said, “I have learned that I am NOT the only competent woman in the room.” Our chapter is full of highly competent and successful women. My board of directors was amazing! I saw early on, that my job was just to steer the ship. The crew each did an outstanding job!

Some of the things this team accomplished include bringing in $20,000 for our scholarship fund through the golf tournament, continuing our four scholarships, and sending eight of our chapter women to LCAM.

Further, we have continued our rich tradition of exciting programs and speakers. While there were many, many great meetings, my personal favorites were the first ever (Annual?) EWI fashion show, hearing from Cari Schaffer, ADD Staff founder and the fabulous Murder Mystery night!

An Ad Hoc committee has reviewed and up-dated the chapter by-laws; a long overdue task. EWI has its own FaceBook page and membership lead the charge in giving us a strong presence at the women’s Chamber Event, ‘Night in Tuscany’. Our chapter also sponsored and promoted the Disney Institute training. This allowed us to send our incoming President to the event, as well as hold a drawing for a free ticket. Sometimes the unexpected opportunities are the best ones!

It’s been a good ride ladies. Thanks again for all you’ve done to keep this stellar chapter on the road to success. You are truly the finest treasures of all!

Meeting requirements and RSVP

Everyone must RSVP Yes or No. No later than September 3rd, 2010
EWI Program Coordinators must confirm attendance numbers with the hotel or other catering company in advance.

  • No shows are charged -- we need to have timely RSVPs into the Sergeant-at-Arms the Friday before the monthly meeting which is the second Wednesday of each month.

  • It costs EWI to pay for those that RSVP and don’t show. Once our numbers are confirmed with the hotel or other catering company, any no shows and any late cancellations must be charged in full.

  • EWI is required to pay for all of its registered guests, whether or not they attend.

Should you need to cancel your reservation by the Friday before the meeting, you MUST receive a confirming email from the SAA that your cancellation is received.  If you do not get a confirming email from SAA, your reservation is still in effect and you will need to pay for the dinner that was reserved for you.

Sergeant At Arms:

RSVP and REGRETS FOR CHAPTER MEETINGS:
In an effort to make the thankless job of Sergeant at Arms a little easier, we thought we would explain in detail the proper RSVP procedure for the chapter meetings. It has become evident that there is a great deal of confusion regarding this matter. We hope this will clear it up for you! If you have any questions, please contact Terri Flores Brown or Deb Haar, your current Sergeant at Arms team. Thank you to all who regularly RSVP on or before the deadline each month! You are so appreciated!

Please remember that the deadline requirement for RSVP/REGRETS is the Friday prior to the monthly chapter meeting. The chapter meeting is held on the second Wednesday of each month. (Except for the month of June. The golf tournament lunch serves as the monthly meeting and is typically the first Friday of June).

Members who do not RSVP by the deadline create a snowball effect for the Sergeant At Arms, the programs team, the caterer, and often the venue. With some programs the meal issue can be problematic if the adjustments are too dramatic. In some cases board members have offered to forfeit their meal if it came to that. We've come close but luckily haven't had to resort to that. Going forward we can not guarantee a meal for those who RSVP after the deadline or for walk-ins with no RSVP.

The sooner we can get your information; even if it's only the RSVP/REGRETS e-mail, it is extremely helpful and appreciated. You can wait to pay at the meeting. So, just because you RSVP doesn't mean you have to make your payment at the same time.

If you are a member paying for a guest, remember to ensure you've paid the $40 fee and not the $35 fee when you receive your confirmation, if it's short please be prepared to pay the difference at the door as we will mention it to you!

If an RSVP is made and not cancelled by the Friday before the meeting the member can be charged for the event.

We will continue to send out the roster for your review and feedback as there are times we have missed the information you submitted online. Thank you for reviewing the roster and responding. This has been very helpful to us!

Please remember to go online to http://www.springsewi.com/ and submit your RSVP or your Regrets. You may pay online if you like (this helps us tremendously too).  Please remember to do so NO LATER than the Friday prior to the meeting.

Ways & Means Committee Report

 

 

We Made a Hole in One!.....

 

 

Hello Ladies!

We are still basking in the tremendous success of our golf tournament!  Our goal was to raise $20,000 and we made it with a few pennies to spare!  Kissing Camels and Garden of the Gods Club are simply luxurious and we could not have asked for a more beautiful day.  For those who were unable to attend, please don't miss it next year!  It is definitely a day to remember. 

"Thank You!" to all the members who donated so very generously with their time & talents, as well as to T-bags, door prizes, auction items and solicitations from local businesses.  How exciting for all the hard work to pay off so richly for our Scholarship Fund.

Let's do it again next year!

and
Mary-Good Forsythe
Ways & Means

Scholarship Committee:

The Scholarship Committee met in early August and reviewed 9 applications for the open slot of funding a fall 2010 recipient.  After careful consideration the committee selected Melissa Moffett.  She is currently attending UCCS obtaining a double major in Women’s Ethnic Studies and Psychology.  She is an assistant researcher of the psychology department and a volunteer for Tessa.  She is raising 4 young daughters by herself.  Some of you may have had the opportunity to meet her at our August meeting where she and one of our other recipients, Nicole Wilder were spotlighted.  It is always inspiring to listen to these ladies stories and their determination to make a better life for them and their families.  We should all be proud of what we do in EWI to support these women.
