When I start thinking about what to write and include in next edition of this weekly newsletter, usually the day this one goes out, I am often at a loss. What else could I possibly say that would resonate with any of my readers. And almost immediately, things start happening in the region, with our over 240 corporate members and our 400 plus certified MBEs. By the end of the week, I have the difficult task of deciding what goes in and what has to wait. But this is a wonderful problem to have. It says to me that our corporate members and MBEs are reading the e- newsletter and are finding some value in it. So I started a blog last week, because the newsletter is one-way communication and a blog allows for an endless stream of commentary. I encourage our readers not only to use the blog to comment on the And Finally section of this e-newsletter, but on any other part of this document. I want to know what you are thinking. I know and respect the fact that you have views also, and those views might not be the ones I have expressed, or I may not have expressed them as well as you can. So contribute to the dialogue and blog me!
