 ASB Webinar Series - Your Opportunity to be heard by the Baking Industry

Do you want the opportunity to share your baking industry expertise with other members of ASB?  The Webinar Series now includes less stringent commercialism guidelines, which permit the brief mention of your company's products/services, and a shorter format of 20 or 40 minute presentations.

If you would like to learn more about this opportunity to share your knowledge with your baking industry peers please contact Amanda Gonzalez, ASB's Membership Manager, at agonzalez@asbe.org or 1.800.713.0462, ext 3.  She would love to discuss the webinar series and hear your ideas.

Chairman's Corner
by Anthony Turano
ASB Chairman

Thought:  "The boss drives people; the leader coaches them.  The boss depends on authority; the leader on good will.  The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.  The boss says 'I'; the leader says 'we.'  The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown.  The boss says 'go'; the leader says 'let's go!'"
-H. Gordon, American-British retail magnate

It's no coincidence the people who call the cops when parties get loud are the people who never get invited to parties.
