I wrote an email to all of our Residential Forum members with the new dates for AST 10 in 2009. However my dates were wrong by 2 days! The new dates for AST 2009 will be July 17-18, 2009 in Portland, Oregon. More information will be emailed at a later date. Our goal is to have 125 members in attendance. This will be a record for the forum, and we know it is possible. Plus, the Board of Directors will be working hard to make some quality changes that will benefit all those in attendance. You will love the new format, but in order to find out what it will be like, plan ahead to attend!

Here’s hoping we all have businesses to run in 2009....
Seriously, though. These are remarkable times we are witnessing and living and working through. It will be great to get on the other side of this crisis but in the meantime it’s changing my perspective on our business. I am fully embracing the need to maximize efficiency and minimize overhead. Leaner times make for leaner businesses. Not such a bad thing after all.
Anyone else discovering a silver lining to this Category 9 hurricane?
