U.S. Enterprise Facilitators meet for 2-day forum in Great Bend, Kansas
Great Bend, KS
October 1, 2009:
Enterprise Facilitators from all over the U.S. met in Great Bend, Kansas on September 17th and 18th to learn new techniques and network with other facilitators from around the country. The Enterprise Facilitators, who assist entrepreneurs in starting or expanding businesses in their home areas, all practice a business management method begun by the Sirolli Institute (www.sirolli.com) known as the Trinity of Management™. This method states that all entrepreneurs should build management teams to assist them in at least one of 3 areas in which they are not particularly strong. The areas of management are the product or service, sales and marketing and financial management.
The Enterprise Facilitators included:
- four from Kansas, Karmi Green, Janet Griesel, Jack Newcomb, Mike Mayberry
- one from Missouri, Annette Weeks, along with her board chair, Sister Christine Martin
- one from South Dakota, Nancy Larsen
- one from Michigan, Cy Thomas along with his board chair, Tom Striffler
- one from Oregon, Allison McKenzie along with her board chair, Mike Medley
- one from Texas, Laura Hardin.
The event was hosted by Linda McCowan, who lives in Pawnee Rock, Kansas and works for the Sirolli Institute and was held at Heartland Farm, an 80-acre homestead and ministerial project of the Dominican Sisters of Great Bend, Kansas. It started in 1987 with three Dominican Sisters and one married couple and their three children.
