November marks a very important time for me. It is my annual hire date and also the month in which the Health Occupations Today (HOT) Expo is usually held.  Last year I had the opportunity to see it during the first week of my job. I was completely overwhelmed and awestruck at the event. The team at Southern KY AHEC had worked diligently planning and preparing for this event and it showed. Of course I had no idea what had taken place behind the scene to get to this point.
