I will not be able to attend. The big issue right now is hiring the best employees. I can't believe the poor choices in the last two years, thus the state of many companies, including the major players. Many do not have a process and are hiring on "feelings." My goal is to improve the overall business. If you have an event on the west coast, I may be interested in speaking. David Rippentrop #1 Listed Adult Beverage Recruiter 503-290-1141
