Wooooooo, CHAMPIONS!
Many thanks to Gary Lorge, incoming Prez and guest blogger while I'm away supporting Mrs. Buchanan in her speaking career. We are eating our way through Chicago and having a blast. VERY much miss the Champions, however. Here are the facts, Ma'am:
Allen is missed as he attends the conference in the windy city. We have 5 Visitors in the room:
Dr Janet Jackman: Optometrist
Tom Morris: Real Estate Appraiser
Joe Salazar: Senior network Consultant
Lem Bucago
Another fantastic educational moment with Jim Sando. Jim had great thoughts about “getting out of your comfort zone”. Reach out beyond your typical networks in order to positively impact the number of referrals you are receiving. You never know where a quality referral will come from!
Dr. Hercules Real took over the awarding of the ITA. Hercules is a multi – time winner and always delivers the goods. After much consideration (Many delivered the sought after trifecta) Dr. Real awarded the hot stuff to Angelo Dionisiou who obviously has no problem operating on minimal hours of sleep with a new baby in the house.
Angelo took the award and then took the floor to review with us a topic I am always riveted by: Commercial Insurance. He explained how he visits clients in person to make sure they are properly covered and to uncover all savings. Thank you Angelo for a great presentation.
Visitor Day is announced. Greg Beck took the GRC moment and ran with it as he revealed the plans for a Champions Visitors Day in October. Excitement is brewing as we shoot for our goal of 100 people in the room.
Our leader was missed and we all look forward to his return to the helm next week! Have a safe trip back enjoy Allen.

Gary has some pretty big shoes to fill, and if his leadership during this meeting is any indication, he will definitely fill those shoes to bursting! Great job today, Gary! Very presidential indeed!
ReplyDeleteVery sorry that I missed today. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Gary!
ReplyDeleteRumor has it that Angelo was actually looking forward to his 10 minute presentation, hoping that this would give him 10 minutes of uninterrupted sleep time! Nonetheless, he not only stayed awake himself, he helped educate the rest of us. Great job, Angelo!
Greg's presentation on what a visitor's day is, how to "get there" and why we should go through the effort was extremely well done. My compliments, Greg!
Allen, you forgot to mention our lovely ambassador, Bernadette was there as well!! :)
