Change Brings New Friends and Family
by Kelley Kunz, CCE, Martin Door Mfg.
When I was younger, we went to my grandparent's house for Thanksgiving. Some years I would stay overnight and help my grandma polish the silverware and make pies. We would make the stuffing the night before because my grandma would get up really early to put the turkey in the oven. I remember filling celery with peanut butter and cheese. I would help peal potatoes and open cans of olives. We would make whip cream and jello. The rest of my family would show up and some would watch football and others would just visit. When I was younger, it seemed like a house full. When I was a teenager, I noticed we didn't do the same routine for Thanksgiving. Some of my cousins went to their other grandparents and we had some friends that came over to my parent's house and we had pie together. View full article
Meeting Recap: How to Hold on to the Money You Collect
by Rebecca Knaak, Alder Sales Corporation
October's ICEL featured speaker was Sherilyn A. Olsen from the law firm of Holland and Hart. Sherilyn is a renowned Utah Bankruptcy Attorney who spoke to us about bankruptcy from the creditor's point of view.
Sherilyn explained that when a company takes out a bankruptcy, there may be instances where the bankruptcy trustee requires any payments made within 90 days of the company's bankruptcy filing to be returned to the trustee. The bankruptcy trustee is seeking a pool of funds with which to pay all of the affected parties, and if you received funds within that period prior to the bankruptcy. View full article

Change Up the Job to Make It More Productive & Interesting
by Carolyn Thompson, Meadow Gold Dairies
How do you keep your job interesting every day? Do you mix up the order of things that you do? Do you change the order of days that you handle certain tasks? I have been thinking about this particular dilemma the last few weeks. When I first started my job at Meadow Gold, I had enough excitement to last almost two years. There were misapplications, missing payments, and deductions that buried five people with work. Needless to say, there was so much to do that I didn't have time to think, let alone get stuck in a routine that might be considered redundant.
Now our department is working like a well oiled machine. Everyone knows what to do and when to do it. I worry that it gives us the chance to skip something or to slack off on that call to the customer that you need to call every month. Do you have a pesky small balance hanging on an account that needs to be researched and solved? My goal for the past few months has been to come up with ways to make our jobs exciting and interesting. I have started a few changes. View full article
