AMA Alliance / NCMS Alliance Conference

What a great conference.....topped with nice white icing (aka snow). The Regional American Medical Association Alliance Conference was sponsored by the North Carolina Medical Society Alliance in Raleigh. I am thankful for the opportunity to have met so many nice people with such positive energy.

My presentation "Effective Communication Strategies" reminded us of the characters and their characteristics of those around us and how to better communicate with them.

"Gladys Friday" of course took us on a "Health, Hope & Humor" adventure as she addressed things about aging, marriage, health tips and more.

I look forward to seeing you all again soon. Thank you again for the opportunity.
