Without support, this task was going to take a significant amount of her time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, her challenge was not only in organizing the event itself \u2013 it was finding an activity that the entire group would enjoy. Her group was a diverse one, with registered nurses, contract managers, project managers, and an executive, all between the ages of 20 and 60. To further the challenge, most of the participants frequently travel for work, or are based out of different offices across the country \u2013 meaning they rarely have the opportunity to work together in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She needed a collaborative activity that would help the participants&nbsp;<strong>get to know each other<\/strong>, take her&nbsp;<strong>little to no time<\/strong>&nbsp;to plan, and would&nbsp;<strong>resonate with the entire group.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-answer-military-support-mission\"><br>THE ANSWER \u2013 \u201cMilitary Support Mission\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>After speaking with our team, this executive assistant quickly found the ideal activity for her unique group: Military Support Mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A competitive, yet collaborative activity, Military Support Mission was an important part of Satellite\u2019s all-day team building event at the Toll House Hotel in Santa Cruz. For three hours, the participants bonded as they completed teamwork challenges, and put together custom packages for troops abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, several of the participants have family members serving in the military, which made this a particularly meaningful and engaging activity for the diverse group.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"highlights-from-the-activity-include\">Highlights from the activity include:<\/h5>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The group planner didn\u2019t have to worry about organizing any part of the activity \u2013 our team took care of all the details, from the planning stages, to the execution<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teams of five made custom care packages for troops abroad, including personal, handwritten cards and letters<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Participants were given the opportunity to present their care packages to the rest of the group and share their personal stories<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employees from Satellite saw the results of their charity activity \u2013 South Bay Blue Star Mothers, a military support group based in Silicon Valley, was on-site to receive the packages<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The opportunity to get hands-on with supporting the military resonated with all of the participants, and made for a very memorable event<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/team-building\/military-support-mission\/\">LEARN MORE ABOUT MILITARY SUPPORT MISSION&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-results-ive-garnered-the-reputation-as-the-one-who-can-put-together-awesome-events\"><br>THE RESULTS \u2013 \u201cI\u2019ve garnered the reputation as the one who can put together awesome events.\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>Satellite\u2019s Military Support Mission activity was a great success.
