Today Heidi Anderson was our speaker--she represents WellWorks. The type of work she does for the program involves education and coordination of special events. Funding comes primarily from membership fees. The College of Health Sciences and Professions also donates some funds. The purpose/mission of the program is to promote wellness and educate. In order to plan, Heidi said that she often collaborates with other people and agencies and comes up with back-up plans. Both verbal and formal evaluations are used for events. Paper forms and surveys are used for formal evaluations of events. Heidi is an RD which comes in useful in both educating and special event planning. She mentioned that she also has a master's degree in public health, which also helps a lot with her job.
An interesting part of her job was that she is involved with Community Sponsored Agriculture (CSA) which is where you buy a share of a farmer's crop and they deliver the vegetables for 20 weeks. Heidi has purchased a share and is encouraging others to do the same thing.
all i can say is, who let the dogs out whoo whoo whoo
