Upcoming Meeting
FRIDAY, December 6, 2019
Opening Discussion Topic:
Hiring & Retaining Key Talent – What Works?
Are you getting the talent you need to grow your business? Are you then retaining, and productively engaging this talent?
For our discussion, we’ll start with a brief presentation. Then, we’ll ask the Group to share and discuss their current approaches to:
- Identifying their current & emerging key talent needs
- Attracting talent for these needs
- Assessing the level of productive engagement of this talent
- Ensuring they can retain this talent
As always, we’ll look to hear and discuss, “What’s Keeping You Up Nights?”
We’ll also be serving as Strategic Advisory Board Members to Brian Arandez, as he makes his Featured Member Presentation.

"I probably would have to pay 16 consultants to get the kind of great information I get from the Round Tables and the people in my group."
"ABL has been a great pay-off for me and I have found great value. It has brought me help in financing the company, resolving financial issues, and customer problems. And it’s served for personal growth, too."
"ABL is the best business meeting series I have ever attended. It is a professional organization for CEOs and Presidents, where the Members bring the real day to day business cases to the meeting and share opinions and solutions. I do my best to participate every meeting I can."
"The big thing that ABL provides to us is that it’s companies of like interests, as opposed to other types of groups that have CEOs with maybe very divergent interests."
"The best thing for me about ABL are the great people in the Organization. It’s a caring group of people, they are very open in sharing their own problems, and that leads to an environment where you can share your problems back. And they’re non-judgmental. They’ll give you the best advise they can. You can take it or not."
