NEAWI Survival Guide: Contracts And Liabilities, March 23rd

Open to NEAWI Members and Guests.

The New England AWI Chapter's Planning Committee would like to begin our series of programs for 2011 with a focus on Business Strategy and Survival in a slow growth Economy. Most importantly, what are the KEY questions and who can we rely on to better answer them? (I.e., to survive should you do what we did before, are you looking in the right direction, "what do I do if"...)

Please join us and bring along a few of your own questions.

Sincerely, NEAWI Planning Committee:
Scott Gordan, Windham Woodworking, Inc.
Mike Sarno, Mass Cabinets, Inc.
Tye Waller, Exec. Director, NEAWI
