    Southern Nevada November Member Meeting


    Create a "Speak Up" Culture to Reduce Financial Risk, Retain Talent, & Improve Patient Safety


    Wednesday, November 12th | 7:30AM - 9:00AM

    Select Health Nevada Headquarters

    6795 Agilysys Way, Suite 120, Las Vegas, NV 89113

    Presented by: Alexia Vernon

    Founder & CEO of Step into Your Moxie


    NO FEE TO ATTEND!

    Every time an employee fails to speak up, it costs an organization an estimated $7,500 in lost productivity and turnover (Crucial Learning). In healthcare, the stakes are even higher—communication failures contribute to 250,000 deaths annually, making them the third-leading cause of death (Johns Hopkins).

    Failure to create a “speak up” culture also drives burnout, legal risk, and reputational damage.

    In this eye-opening session, Alexia Vernon will share practical strategies to build psychological safety, improve communication, and reduce costly breakdowns. Attendees will learn how to:

    • Navigate high-stakes conversations before issues spiral
    • Reduce legal, compliance, and patient safety risks
    • Improve retention and workplace satisfaction by fostering trust and transparency
