MOTIVTR - January 2022

The MOTIVTR is a cross functional, virtual team roundtable meeting held monthly, with senior subject matter experts at the national, regional, and district levels of recruiting.

MOTIVTR is an acronym representing (M) - Marketing and MCRISS; (O) - Operations; (T) - Training; (I) - Innovation; (VTR) - Virtual Team Roundtable
