My apologies for being out of touch on the blog lately, and while there's no real excuse, I do have a few good reasons being being too busy to blog.
1) Recent travels to BPI Media Group in Boaz, AL. With two trips to BPI in the past month, that has keep the wheels on the car going round and round and this print girl on the road (which is a great thing!). The first trip to BPI was for a customer press check for a catalog printing. This valued customer spent 2.5 days with us at BPI. We truly have an open door policy and welcome prospects and customers to do plant tours or press checks any time. The second trip to BPI was last week for our sales team meeting. It always does a salesperson good to have a fire ignited and learn of new things coming (stay tuned for more on that in a week or so).
2) Prospecting and recruiting committee members for a chapter of AMA that I'm working to develop in Upstate has also keep my hands from being anything but idle. Reaching out to friends and colleagues in the marketing arena for help in starting the AMA chapter has proven to be a great opportunity, and I am truly excited about the next few months as our chapter takes shape. Details to come on this as well, so keep reading!
3) A project very dear to my heart, Parkinson's Walk Greenville, was held on Sunday, October 20th. The planning and time spent to help make this first annual event happen was immense and done with such great care, but I have learned invaluable lessons about being a leader, working with non-profit organizations and helping others. I have much to learn in this area, but I will take this experience and what I learned and use it in planning the 2nd Parkinson's Walk Greenville in October of 2014. Here are a couple of photos from the event (and BPI was kind enough to help with the brochures, flyers and banners), so I hope you'll enjoy.
Until next time...Elizabeth
