We embrace the wisdom of Nelson Mandela, who stated, " Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. For almost 20 years we have been helping change the world of healthcare as we teach! We are fully committed to assisting providers and the professional organizations that serve them. The G+A Speaker + Trainer Resource Team members are highly sought-after presenters for leading associations and healthcare organizations across the country. In addition to the hundreds of providers we have served, we frequently partner with National HFMA, various HFMA chapters and regions, AAHAM, NAHAM, other specialized professional organizations, plus state and metropolitan hospital associations. We are proud to be the only firm commissioned by the ACHCE to develop and present a revenue cycle management C-suite course. Bobette Gustafson, G+A's president and founder, is one of the nation's most sought-after healthcare presenters. She is a powerful keynote speaker, delivering insightful and inspirational general sessions and creative interactive workshops. She consistently delivers "top-quartile" participant evaluation results and maintains HFMA "Distinguished Speaker" status. Bobette has carefully selected and groomed each of G+A's associates who exhibit the firm's passion for delivering the highest quality education. They also speak at numerous association events and are called upon to lead G+A's exciting "Series Learning" curriculum for frontline staff. G+A is known for our creative education approaches, which often include distributing pre-session assignments to the registered participants. The fast-paced, engaging and powerful group discussions and exercises, plus numerous take-home tools, equip attendees with valuable information. Many organizations schedule us to speak on an annual basis, knowing that our material will always be "up to the minute and beyond" and customized to meet their conference objectives. G+A treasures the special privilege we are given when we are asked to speak. Because of this privilege, we strictly adhere to our cornerstone educational principle, which prohibits us from "selling at the podium. We pride ourselves in knowing that our seminar evaluations confirm that we are teachers - not salespeople. We invest many hours customizing our material and preparing for our sessions. Given the premium value, we make no apologies for the honorariums we require. We also fully understand and are sensitive to the fact that some organizations are faced with budget challenges, so we are committed to finding creative solutions that ensure finances do not stand in the way of accessing G+A's unmatched speaking talents. We look forward to hearing how we can serve you, and working with you to craft the educational presentation that will equip and inspire the attendees to change their world!
