SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2005
		Morris Mu - Rotman, MBA CEI Host Organization - Coast Foundation CEI Funding partner - Rotman School of Business

It is my pleasure to be a member of CEI community. Moving from Toronto to Vancouver, and moving from competitive and joyful MBA study life to a nonprofit organziation environment is a big jump in my life as well as my career path.

I was chosen to work for Coast Foundation Society, one of the largest non-profit organizations in health care area in British Columbia. Its mission is to promote recovery of people who have mental illness. My project at Coast is to develop an employee performance evaluation system, which provides a tool for monitoring its employees' performance and the implementation of its strategic plan and facilitates communications between management and its staff. This project is also a part of Coast's 2005 organization strategic plan. I design Balanced Score Card (BSC) for each position in this organization that has 228 employees, and a manual that specifies when and how to conduct performance evaluation and how the evaluation results relate to remuneration, promotion, termination and position shift. In doing this, I need to frequently communicate with all level managers and staff in order to obtain details needed in the BSC card, including visiting their sites where theywork with people who have mental illness.

I have been enjoying my job since it started, which is full of challenge and a lot of fun. Hope you all feel the same way in your summer.

Cheers,

Morris
