Farewell Letter from Dennis Bolin, Alliance Chief Experience Officer

Health Plan Alliance

11/04/2022

Dear Alliance Colleagues:

After 50 years of receiving a paycheck, I look forward to retiring December 31, 2022 with a jumble of thoughts and emotions.

The first is gratitude for the opportunity to work for you these past 21 years.  Maybe it is a cliché, but it is true:  I woke up everyday excited to work for you.  I have been reminded this past year as our team has been able to again visit many of your offices and to be with you at our meetings,  how much I enjoy learning from you, being challenged by you, contributing to your efforts, and just hanging out.

I admire you.  When I am researching one of your questions or organizing an Alliance project or facilitating a meeting, I am reminded of the importance of the work you do.  Many of us are now several degrees removed from our final customers — it happens as our careers progress.  So, I try every day to remind myself that our work makes a difference in the lives of our communities.

And to the Alliance team:  I am honored to work with you.  Whether I worked with you from day one or just this year, I am awed by your intellect, talent, and dedication to our members.  I learn something from you every day.

Thank you for being my colleagues, my mentors, my teachers and my friends.  Keep in touch!
