Hive Connections Committee
Strategic Association Management (SAM)

THE CHALLENGE
As SAM’s internal communications and engagement needs grew, the organization needed a way to strengthen culture and collaboration across departments — especially in a hybrid work environment.

​

THE APPROACH
While SAM’s operations team had an informal “Fun Committee,” I saw an opportunity to build something more intentional. I launched the Hive Connections Committee — a reimagined, mission-aligned group focused on internal engagement, cross-departmental connection, and culture-building. I developed the committee’s vision, recruited team members, and led monthly planning meetings.

​

THE IMPACT

• Transformed an informal morale group into a strategic, mission-aligned committee

• Increased participation in internal events and strengthened cross-team collaboration

• Improved onboarding experience and employee understanding of SAM’s values

• Elevated internal messaging and reinforced a culture of connection, inclusion, and recognition
