Now that my term is done, I am going to miss working with you, Linda. You put on one heck of a conference. There was not one complaint anyone could have. You spoiled everyone, including us SIG leaders. ~Marilyn West, MNEUG, (outgoing) Revenue Cycle SIG Leader
Linda, you are great to work with and make my role easy! I have always appreciated working with you. ~Jonathan Shoemaker, MNEUG Treasurer, Allina Health, CIO
Linda and her team were the lead event organizers retained by IIC for our Los Angeles program. Linda had the triple challenge of a historic building as a venue, a large international audience of 500+ participants, and a complex programme (four social events, learned paper presentations and lectures, trips and tours, break-out meetings, a trade fair and poster displays) all in a five-day period.
Linda excelled at making order out of organizational challenges from, variously, the venue, the participants, and from IIC as the owners of the event. She always displayed an enthusiastic nature and a ‘can-do’ attitude that meant obstacles were overcome and potential problems were anticipated and resolved.
Linda was professional, efficient, and incredibly well-organized. Her calm and assured manner and knowledge of event organizing meant the IIC Congress went exactly to plan and was a very well–received and warmly remembered event. We very strongly recommend Linda. ~Graham Voce, ICC, London, UK Linda has been contracted as our association's conference planner for over 10 years. I have worked with her for six years. She
has arranged and managed our meeting with outstanding efficiency and attention to detail. She effectively manages people with a variety of personality types and a wide range of educational backgrounds throughout the planning process as well as onsite during the conference.
In addition, Linda understands the limited financial status of the BEPS and has repeatedly organized the conference within or below budget through use of her market knowledge and effective negotiation skills. She provides exceptional support and is an invaluable resource for me as Treasurer. As officers of the society, we totally rely on her judgement and expertise.
Linda acts as the "face" of the BEPS throughout the year and the conference. Members and attendees receive gracious personal and professional service from the time of membership renewal to conference registration to onsite needs. I highly recommend Linda Hurtley and Linwood Group Meetings for any of your meeting needs. ~LuAnn E. Rooff, Principal Scientist, Penford Products Co. and Treasurer for BEPS __________________________________________________________________________________
The Region 7E Adult Mental Health Initiative has contracted with Linda Hurtley and Linwood Group Meetings since 2006. Her responsibilities are primarily admin-related, but she has researched and made arrangements for annual meetings and special events. I have been pleased with the accuracy of her work, and impressed with the degree of understanding she has conveyed for the sometimes difficult and confidential discussions at Board and Local Advisory Council meetings. ~Karyn Hansen, LICSW and Social Service Supervisor, Isanti County on behalf of Region 7E AMHI
Over the years, Linda has consistently shown integrity, reliability, and an unwavering commitment to the terms of our contracts. Her organization skills, combined with her ability to seamlessly manage complex and high-stakes events, make her an invaluable partner. One of the key reasons we continue to hire Linwood Group Meetings is Linda's incredible attention to detail. In our field of mental health, confidentiality and discretion are paramount, as sensitive discussions often involve specific agencies or individuals. Linda has always upheld the highest standards of professionalism and confidentiality, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure. It's been a true pleasure to work with Linda for nearly two decades. Her dedication to our mission and the individuals we serve, along with her hard work and integrity, is the foundation of our ongoing partnership. I wholeheartedly recommend Linda Hurtley and Linwood Group Meetings to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated meeting and event planner. ~Penny Messer, Health and Human Services Division Leader, Isanti County on behalf of Region 7E AMHI
