On August 27th our conference room was buzzing with good food, good conversation and much-missed colleagues and friends. Past staff members and interns of the Improve Group gathered to catch up and reminisce. Alumni in attendance were: Kari Schuch, Brooke Ahlquist, Nathan Paine, Nathan Salzl and Collin Cunningham along with Steve Mayne who was on his last day of his internship. Staff members Leah Goldstein Moses, Marian Kimball-Eichinger, Rebecca Stewart, Susan Murphy, Samantha Hagel and Danielle Assy were also part of the luncheon.

It was a pleasure to hear about the alums’ current work at great organizations like the Minnesota Department of Health, Greater Twin Cities United Way and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Another one of our recent co-workers took the Barr Exam this summer. There was no surprise to any of us that the prospects were so bright for our former co-workers.

The afternoon ended with a lot of laughs and containers of Thai Food to take home. For those interns and alumni that couldn’t make it to the lunch, we hope you will stop by and see us soon.
