Built for small states with big staffing problems.
Wyoming is the least populated state in the country and it runs 26 hospitals, 16 of them critical access. When a facility that size loses two nurses, it is not a staffing inconvenience, it is a service line at risk. That is the exact pressure Chris deals with in his day job running national healthcare staffing organizations.
He has keynoted state association conferences in eleven states, including the Montana Health Care Association, the Rural Health Association of Utah, the South Dakota Health Care Association, and TORCH in Texas. Those are Wyoming’s peer organizations facing Wyoming’s problem, so the material arrives already fitted to a frontier audience rather than adapted from a big city version.
Frontier Experience
Keynotes delivered for rural and frontier health associations in Montana, Utah, Texas, and South Dakota.
Operator, Not Consultant
President and COO of national healthcare staffing organizations, still making the hiring calls he speaks about.
Reachable
Cheyenne and Casper are straightforward from Omaha, and eastern Wyoming is drivable, which keeps travel costs down.
Groups Chris speaks for.
The kinds of Wyoming organizations that book a workforce and leadership keynote for an annual conference, an in-service day, or a member education session.
- Wyoming Hospital Association, representing 26 hospitals statewide from its Cheyenne office
- Wyoming Health Care Association, the state’s skilled nursing and long-term care voice
- LeadingAge Wyoming, an association of 29 nonprofit long-term care and assisted living providers
- Wyoming State Council of SHRM and its five local chapters, plus the annual state HR conference
- Wyoming Medical Society and county medical societies
- Local and regional chambers of commerce across Cheyenne, Casper, Gillette, Sheridan, and Jackson
- School districts, community colleges, and the University of Wyoming for staff in-service and student leadership events
Wyoming industries with the same problem.
The retention crisis is not confined to hospitals. Wyoming’s largest employers face a version of it that is arguably harder, because they are competing for workers in remote places with limited housing.
Energy and Mining
Coal, oil, gas, and trona operations that need to attract and hold skilled crews in remote basins, where a single crew shortage stops production.
Tourism and Hospitality
Jackson, Cody, and the gateway communities around Yellowstone and Grand Teton, where seasonal staffing and housing pressure make retention brutal.
Public Sector and Education
State agencies, county government, school districts, and community colleges holding in-service days and leadership development sessions.
Banking, Ag, and Services
Community banks, agricultural cooperatives, and professional services firms holding annual meetings and leadership retreats.
Wyoming cities and venues.
- Cheyenne, the state capital and home to most state association headquarters
- Casper, a central location that hosts many statewide conferences
- Jackson and Teton Village for leadership retreats and destination conferences
- Sheridan, Gillette, and Buffalo for regional employer and healthcare events
- Laramie for University of Wyoming and student leadership audiences
- Cody, Rock Springs, and Riverton for community and chamber events
