President’s Message
Our industry is constantly changing, and so our professional association must change too. That’s why EPBR has launched a new strategic planning process. One of the most important factors in making this process fruitful is input from you!
The first step is a demographic survey sent to all members recently via Paradigm Performance Consulting. Please respond to this quick survey so we will have a better understanding of the makeup of our membership.
Then watch for future opportunities – focus groups, etc. – to contribute more input. This is the time to share your needs, wants, and opinions about the features and services of EPBR and where we’re heading.
Please take every opportunity to help steer our course for future success – yours as well as the organization. Engage!
