MIA: Leadership Training

“The Marble Institute did a great job of choosing speakers that were relevant to today’s economy,” said Chad Seiders, sales manager at Architectural Granite and Marble Inc. (AG&M). “What stone companies need right now is sales revenue and the ability to differentiate in their respective markets. The speakers taught us tips on how to achieve both of these.”

The MIA’s Distelhorst commented that, “We were very excited about the outcomes of this industry event! The attendee feedback was extremely positive – so much so that we have already set the date for a 2011 leadership workshop.”

Next year’s event will be Oct. 17-18. For more information, go to www.marble-institute.com/leadership.

James A. Hieb is vice president of the Marble Institute of America.
