In attendance from the LifeSpire of Virginia team were Jonathan Cook, Chris Markwith, Peter Robinson, Jodi Leonard, Lisa Legeer, Hannah Feely, Christine Moran, Deb Ledbetter, Robert Wilbanks, and Derek Meyer.
During meetings with Summit team members a number of items were covered including a projected timeline of events, history of LifeSpire of Virginia, Core Values and Mission, expected closing date of the sale, how and when Summit team members will transition from Centra employment to LifeSpire of Virginia employment, what internal processes and systems will have to change after closing, and a preview of the open enrollment process with LifeSpire of Virginia.
August 9th and 10th, individual 1-1 meetings with Summit team members and members of the LifeSpire of Virginia team occurred. During these meetings the LifeSpire of Virginia team (Jonathan, Lisa and Hannah) reviewed salary compensation specifics and answered questions unique to each team members’ unique circumstances. LifeSpire of Virginia’s goal is to retain as many of The Summit’s team member as possible while taking job history and tenure into consideration.
