First Quarter 2009: M.I.A. Due to Volunteerism
During the first quarter of 2009, BBCG Inc. was sidetracked more than expected by me taking on the responsibilities of Chairman, Governmental Affairs Committee, Clearwater (Florida) Regional Chamber of Commerce. We will reprint an article I wrote for publication in the Chamber’s Voice of Business bi-monthly newsletter which provides more detail. In a nutshell, with the support of a small steering committee over the course of the last three months, I have established six standing task forces which are now each headed by an extremely talented volunteer from the community. Between the six, we have attempted via broad mandates, to address all the issues our membership told us were of most concern to them in a fall 2008 survey. We have also tasked two of the task forces to address specific items that public sector officials have brought to us as quick-fused issues requiring immediate action.
It has been my intention as the President of BBCG Inc. to design and build the Chamber task force infrastructure, identify and install six high quality leaders, and then back off from the intense front-end effort and refocus on the requirements of BBCG’s employee benefits work.
With most of the pieces now in place, I will strive to be more proactive in making valuable posts to this blog.
