“I appreciated Casey’s explanations and also her encouragement to take it one step at a time. It made the aspect of starting or expanding a SIM center not quite as daunting.
Listening to how they kept working on improvements all the time as a team.
Raise awareness, write proposals. I am aware of these needs, but Casey had some great examples.”
