I have just loved doing this job, and working with the people in this business. |
One reason I was attracted to SABEW was that business journalists had no place to learn the craft. Business was a backwater in those days. If you were the kind of person who wanted to do your job well, you had almost no place to turn for help. SABEW really changed that, and meeting with and learning from others was always what I thought was best about the organization. |
When I became president, they gave me a roster of about 150 members, and told me to find out who was still active and actually wanted to be involved. Once we knew who the real members were, we could do programs for them and pursue others who were really interested in participating. . We also had some tax issues that we took care of, and once we got through that the group was really able to grow and develop more easily. |
