March 6, 2024

Thank you to Tyler Walters and Brittani Seip at the Best Western Plus Fillmore Inn for today’s ‘field trip’ to the hotel!  They are thrilled to be superiorly ranked on Trip Advisor and pride themselves on excellent customer service! 

 

Notes from your executive director:

Next week, the board of directors will meet after breakfast.

 

At last month’s board of directors meeting, the board:

●      Opened the category of ‘Patent and Intellectual Property Attorney’ for Sebastian Ertelt, Fargo Patent & Business Law.  Sebastian is sponsored by Jay Gust, Ascent Restaurant Group. 

●      Opened the category of ‘Sales Software’ for Drew Lints, Confluence Marketing.  Drew is sponsored by Greg Swartz, Swartz Electric. 

Should you know anyone who might like to compete for these categories, please bring them next week. If they are interested in applying, they will need to do so before Wed. and will need to stay after the breakfast for an interview.  As always, it is the goal of Execs to engage with best in class companies.
