Who knew Rich Mendola walks at such a brisk pace?
For the past few weeks, LITS employees have enjoyed the chance to get in some steps while chatting with leaders throughout the division. The campaign was organized by the LITS Wellness Committee to coincide with the final days of the Emory Move More Challenge.
“We wanted to give people a chance to have casual conversations with our leaders while exercising in the beautiful spring weather,” says Jay Flanagan, one of the event organizers. “What could be better than exercising while getting to know our bosses?”
Leaders who participated in the walks were Yolanda Cooper, John Ellis, Sandra Franklin, Joanna Green, Dana Haggas, Jennifer King, James Leonard, Rich Mendola, Wayne Ortman, and Marc Overcash.
Walks included areas around the Quad, the Lullwater Preserve, the intramural fields, and the North Decatur Building.
“The group sizes were between 6 and 12 per session, which gave everyone a chance to really chat while they walked” says Meaghan O’Riordan, the LITS Wellness Committee chair. “We plan to do this again next year.”
Adds Jay, “The Wellness Committee is thrilled that so many of our LITS Leaders chose to participate in the event. The fact that they engaged, allowed the employees to engage with them.”
