DM&A Update » December 2006

A Year in Review
Diane Meiller and Associates, Incorporated opened its’ doors on January 6, 2006, and signed our first contract on January 9th with Attorneys’ Title Insurance Fund to work with their Project Management Office on Project Retrospectives, and other PMO objectives. Since that first engagement, we went on to engagements with Florida Hospital, Orlando Regional Healthcare, Marriott Vacation Club International, Home Depot Supply and are in process of signing numerous other contracts with organizations both in Central Florida and in the Northeast. This has been possible because of the enormously supportive client community who continues to provide Diane Meiller and Associates with opportunity because of the consistent delivery at or above expectation level. Though a small company to date, the consultant staff has been instrumental in creating the company’s reputation which is demonstrated through repeatable business opportunities. It is my goal to foster an environment which provides continued professional growth and opportunity as the company expands along industry, practice and geographic lines.

Many thanks again for a great 2006, and to a successful 2007!
