Reflections from Past Forums
|  At our March Forum, Aaron Baum, G2 President, Baum Precision Machining, gave an insightful and honest perspective from the "other side of the table", the next generation!
Ed Wallace, Author, Business Relationships that Last, shared inspirational stories and how the proven, practical process of building relationships is one of the most overlooked practices in business! Per member Michael Fecik, B.R. Kreider and Son, Inc., "How to build lasting relationships was a very good reminder of what we know but find it hard to practice because we communicate to so many people through so many means that we lose focus on lasting and meaningful connections." Sharing best practices and promoting health awareness, which benefits every family business, was the focus of our June Mini-Forum!
"The ability to relate the concepts to an actual case study in progress was great. Hearing from the Clemens Food Group folks is always a bonus. Additionally, Mark and Denise were both excellent presenters, and knew the subject matter well!" Dan Kendra, Precision Solutions, Inc.
