Last Chance to Register for REDI Seminar             
                    
The REDI Seminar Series was developed in 2012 by a group of eight top level business professionals representing a variety of business disciplines, including marketing, accounting, sales and human resources. The group came together to identify common barriers that prevent their business clients from reaching their full potential. They identified key disciplines with which owners, CEO's and next generation leaders of closely held and family businesses often struggle but must master to succeed. This ultimately led to the creation of the REDI Mindset:

* Recognize and seize opportunities
* Expect & predict results
* Decide best course of action
* Implement through team engagement

1si members will receive a $125 discount for the program if you sign up by this Thursday, February 11th, and a $75 discount after that deadline. Discount codes and additional information can be found here.
