Last Tuesday we were joined by Harlan "Bud" Hockenberg, who shared with us his business CEO Independent Advisor, LLC. He is an independent consultant for CEOs.
BIKE DONATIONS
We will be giving bikes to students at Phenix and Clive Elementary Schools on Thursday, May 24. Phenix will be at 1:00 PM and Clive will be at 2:15 PM. The schools are not far apart so we should be able to make this time frame work. We need 6-8 members at each school to help with matching bikes and students. If you can work one or both schools, please let Harold know via email ( dutchguy39@aol.com).
Looking for volunteers to ride/walk in the 4th of July parade, held on the 3rd.

MAY 1ST SPEAKER
Speaker today is Bud Hockenberg of CEO Independent Advisor LLC. Bud works with CEOs, advising them from an outsider's point of view. He pointed out that a great deal of CEOs use their brain trust to make decisions, and they often tell their boss and friend what (s)he wants to hear.
CEO turnover is on the rise. It was higher 2011 then in the past 20 years, and trending higher still for 2012 in January. Bud uses a great deal of resources, including private investigators, in-depth research and his "people balance sheet" to help provide a CEO a full scope of how to do business better.
