CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR PRESIDENT & CEO - DEIDRE BOONE, for her successful completion and subsequent graduation from the 42nd Class of the Owner/Presidents Management Program at Harvard Business School! Deidre completed the Executive Education program on Friday, February 17, 2012. Over the past three years, she has traveled annually to Boston, MA for three-week sessions of extensive coursework in the areas of leadership, strategy, customer centricity and global marketing.

Her classmates were from counties that included India, Brazil, Columbia, Nigeria, Australia, Egypt, Mexico, Ukraine, Spain, Canada, France, the United Kingdom and the United States. Deidre has stated that, "the program has provided me with the tools necessary to more effectively assess our company's position, develop long-term strategies, create practical action plans, and connect with members of the extensive Harvard Business School network for advice and support." In keeping with our corporate philosophy of education serving as the foundation for the creation of jobs and economic growth, we applaud Deidre for her stalwart efforts and her commitment to her professional development. We look forward to learning from her as she shares the valuable lessons she has learned in her time at Harvard University!
