Febuary Forum Lunch

Rick Budke, Sublimity Insurance Co., will explore how both large and small organizations might develop planning mechanisms to help guide their efforts toward success.  Having a track to run on may sound pretty basic, but it is surprising how many businesses operate without specified goals and objectives.  As Yogi Berra once said, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up somewhere else.”
