CARE PROVIDERS OF MINNESOTA 71ST ANNUAL CONVENTION & EXPOSITION
Find “Purpose and Passion” at this year’s convention PURPOSE AND PASSION –
the theme for this year’s convention– is more than a catchy phrase; it is why we are in this profession, and why we come together to celebrate! For three days, we celebrate the purpose (helping and serving others) and the passion (the result of doing meaningful work) in providing care to older and vulnerable adults and in taking care of each other on this sometimes challenging career path. Now, here’s some of what you can expect for three days in November as we will help you celebrate—and rediscover—the joy of providing care!
EDUCATION : No matter your title—CEO, housing manager, maintenance director, dietary, or caregiver—our 100+ learning sessions and speakers, spread out over three days, will provide new insights and meaning on how you help others each and every day. Our two keynote speakers will add that extra spark to honor the meaningful work you do. Calvin Stovall is Monday’s keynote speaker, and his unorthodox and humorous presentation will address the critical component of employee engagement and customer experience. Tuesday’s keynote speaker is Donna Cutting, whose high-energy, interactive presentation explores the ways in which using intentional words of kindness, being present, and setting others up for success positively affects your bottom line!
CELEBRATION : Your work impacts the lives of so many—those you care for, their families, and your colleagues. It is so important to pause and CELEBRATE the Purpose and Passion you bring to this profession—and we’re going to do exactly that!
Similar to last year, Monarch Healthcare will be hosting a great event for our first night of convention— and if you attended last year, you know it’s going to be fun! (Details available on site at convention.) Recognizing the passion of award recipients is one of the highlights of our convention—and you’ll understand why, as we share their stories with you. We will recognize a few members with Care Providers of Minnesota awards at keynote sessions, and a few more at the Celebration of Caring Reception. We invite all convention attendees to join us on Tuesday, starting at 4:15 PM in the Minnetonka ballroom, for the Celebration of Caring Reception—a great opportunity to celebrate, unwind, dance (yes—there will be an awesome DJ), enjoy free appetizers, and soak in the convention experience with peers and friends. We have saved some key awards for this reception, with the Caregiver of the Year Awards to be presented by a special guest, and of course, the surprise Member of the Year Award presentation. Scholarship recipients and our 2019 Leading4Life Fellowship graduates will also be recognized at the Tuesday reception as they further their “purpose” in helping older and vulnerable adults. This special event—repeated from last year by request—will wrap up at 6:45 PM, leaving time to sample Mystic Lake’s gaming, hit the spa, enjoy a wonderful meal, or just relax and gear up for a third day of education. For many of you, attending convention is an annual event—and we are so glad you will be part of our 71st. For others, this may be a brand-new experience— either way, we encourage you to consider adding to your experience by being a greeter for our education sessions.
Patti Cullen, CAE, President/CEO Care Providers of Minnesota
Sharon St. Mary, Chair Board of Directors Care Providers of Minnesota It’s easy, takes just a few minutes—and it may even get you a free lunch!

BE ICONIC! OR BE GONE! CALVIN STOVALL, CEO, CHIEF EXPERIENCE OFFICER AND ICONICITY ENTHUSIAST, ICONIC PRESENTATIONS
• Mystic Showroom | 10:45 AM—12:15 PM What do brands like Starbucks, the Beatles, and Al’s Breakfast have in common? They all have successfully achieved iconic status! Iconic brands have a purpose beyond money. They provide a brand experience that stands out from the crowd, serving as a shining symbol of excellence to which other brands aspire. There’s a common myth that becoming an iconic brand is reserved for Fortune 500 companies with large marketing budgets. But that assumption is wrong! Even if you’re a 14-seat, diner/institution in Dinkytown (Minneapolis), any company–
regardless of size and location—can achieve iconic status. During this session, attendees will not only be introduced to strategies and tactics that can help transition companies into iconic status, but also address the criticality of employee engagement and customer experience in building a brand that stands the test of time. Create a competitive advantage by leveraging the four components of The ICONIC Framework™—a practical and systematic technique that helps organizations achieve and maintain iconic status in the eyes of their customers.
About Calvin Stovall Calvin was born and raised in the infamous Cabrini Green housing projects in Chicago during the era of the iconic 70s syndicated television show, Soul Train. Calvin’s enthusiasm and immeasurable passion for music has continued throughout his adult years. Today, he leverages his life experiences as a business leader along with the universal language of music to engage and connect with his audiences. He has energized and motivated people nationwide with his high-content, unorthodox, and humorous platform.

THE RED CARPET WAY: CREATING A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE LOVE TO LIVE AND WORK! DONNA CUTTING, CSP, FOUNDER AND CEO (CHIEF EXPERIENCE OFFICER) OF RED-CARPET LEARNING SYSTEMS
• Mystic Showroom | 10:45 AM—12:15 PM Whether we’re talking about employee engagement and retention; resident and client satisfaction; or census, it all comes down to one thing: People love to do business with people they like. It’s all about relationships and the way we treat each other, and every interaction makes a difference! In this high-energy, fun, and interactive keynote, we’ll explore the ways in which using intentional words of kindness, being present to the person in front of you, setting others up for success and making movie moments for customers & staff positively affects your bottom line!
AWARDS PRESENTED AT TUESDAY’S KEYNOTE:
When you roll out the red carpet in this way, customers and team members fully engage with your organization! It isn’t always easy, but when it comes to customer service and employee retention, every moment matters. Rolling out the red carpet for others is as natural to Donna Cutting as breathing. Her fondest memories from childhood include the occasions when her mother and Memére, her French grandmother who was the mother of fourteen children, would roll out the red carpet for family members “returning home” to Fall River, Massachusetts. This tradition made a lasting impression on Donna and resonates with her to this day.
About Donna Cutting A stage actress and dynamic keynote speaker, Donna’s mission is to inspire you to experience the “thrill of the red carpet,” where your customers matter, your work matters, and you matter! Her passion for rolling out the red carpet and creating exceptional customer experiences moved her to found Red Carpet Learning Systems, through which she and her team help organizational leaders turn prospects into customers and customers into raving fans!

909: THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY OF CLIENT TOURS Care managers at Twin Cities Care have toured 10,000 families and counting.

We are dedicated to providing current facts and figures about America’s people, places, and economy. Federal law protects the confidentiality of all individual responses the Census Bureau collects. The U.S. Constitution requires that each decade we take a count—or a census—of America’s population.
The Deaf & Hard of Hearing Services Division at DHS has a new online training for staff and family members to increase their understanding of the challenges that seniors with hearing and vision loss experience. Participants will learn about this information-packed and engaging online tool and strategies to better serve seniors with hearing and vision loss.

Bauer, Deaf & Hard of Hearing Specialist, Deaf & Hard of Hearing Services, Minnesota Department of Human Services

The census provides vital information for you and your community. • It determines how many representatives each state gets
in Congress and is used to redraw district boundaries. Redistricting counts are sent to the states by March 31, 2021.
• Communities rely on census statistics to plan for a variety of
resident needs including new roads, schools, and emergency services.
912: PREVENTING HARM FOR RESIDENTS/CLIENTS WHILE HONORING CHOICE
• Businesses use census data to determine where to open
One-third of nursing facility residents experience an adverse harm event, and the majority of those are preventable. Learn about a quality improvement initiative focused on preventing, detecting, and mitigating adverse events, harm, and abuse in care settings, while honoring each resident’s rights and preferences. Participants will receive a change package (CP) with a model for safe care and actions to prevent harm events and will hear about successful strategies and actions from a nursing facility working to improve the quality of life and care for their residents. Ms. Kristi Wergin, RN, BSN, CPHQ, Program Manager, Stratis Health Ms. Marilyn Reierson, Senior Program Manager, Stratis Health Ms. Kelly M. O’Neill, RN, BSN, MPA, CPHQ, Program Manager, Stratis Health Ms. Stacy Line, BSN, Care Center Director of Nursing, Lakewood Health System Care Center Ms. Kathleen M.

places to shop.
In 2020, we will implement new technology to make it easier than ever to respond to the census. For the first time, you will be able to respond online, by phone, as well as by mail. We will use data that the public has already provided to reduce follow-up visits. And, we are building an accurate address list and automating our field operations—all while keeping your information confidential and safe.

GREETER & CONVENTION TIPS | REFLECION ROOM INFORMATION
Get more out of Convention...
Sign up to be a greeter! Why just be a listener at a session when you can be a greeter! It’s easy and fun! Here’s what you do: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Pick up session handouts at the speaker/greeter room Pass out the handouts to session attendees Introduce the session presenter (a very short script is provided for you) Let the presenter know when it’s time to wrap up their presentation Collect the session evaluations and turn them into the speaker/greeter room
AND…if you do this for two sessions per day…you get a free lunch! Ready to sign up? Go to www.careproviders.org/convention and click the GREETER icon.
REFLECTION ROOM quiet space designated specifically for reflection, meditation, and prayer. Convention is a busy three days full of energy, learning sessions, and people. If you need a quiet moment to refresh; a peaceful spot to pray; or a tranquil place to meditate, please visit our Reflection Room, open during regular convention hours. Reflection Room | Chaska Room, Level 3
Ten tips to help you get the most of your Convention experience:
1. Take time to look through this GUIDE and the information online so you know all that is available to you at convention. 2. Look at the session descriptions so that you have an idea of what sessions you would like to attend, and which events are a must! 3. Get plenty of rest prior to the convention so that you arrive well-rested—you’ll be glad you did! 4. Ask questions! Often, the questions you have are the same that others in the room have. 5. Rediscover your purpose and passion by connecting with others; learning from keynote speakers and breakout sessions; and celebrating at Monday & Tuesday events! 6. Pace yourself. Take in as much as you can. Care Providers of Minnesota’s Convention & Exposition is a large event and you most likely will not be able to do everything. 7. Be open to new experiences and to meeting new people. Some of these new relationships will last a lifetime and may even serve as a referral. 8. Business casual is the suggested attire for the convention. 9. Comfortable shoes are a must–as is a light sweater…and it wouldn’t hurt to pack a water bottle! (There are hydration stations by each restroom in the Mystic Lake Center.) 10. You may not have time to visit all the booths in the Exhibition area, but be sure to stop and talk with as many vendors as you can during designated exposition hours on Monday and Tuesday.
