Hello, everyone -
I haven't retired - just took an extended break from blogging, but am back (thanks to Susan Young of Aimfiremarketing.com) with an earnest effort to commitment to "social media communication."
Am getting on Twitter and Linkedin and Facebook. Keeping up is the challenge.
Since last we connected, I have been traveling extensively to Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Oregon, North Carolina, and West Virginia. Speaking engagements as well as calling on Community bankers Associations in those states. As I meet with leaders in those states and hear how challenging these times are, I am re-committed to partnering with as many people as possible.
Every place is indeed challenged by the huge change occurring in our communities.
What is the status of your city, town, county? What is being done about it? What role are you playing? We can be assured that your counter part in China, Brazil, or eastern Europe is thinking about how they can develop their market to compete with you!
I have been fortunate to assist many communities in developing a VISION/Action plans as they meet those challenges. Give me a call and I will tell you how your fellow leaders are attacking the future with vigor!
