Hello Susan. It seems like I’m getting a bit ahead of myself in
moving the company forward. I think you, Andrea, and I need to
have a meeting to go over all our thoughts on creating and
implementing changes in our management and strategic
organizational goals. This is going to call for new mission and
vision statements that will fit our transformative philosophies.
You know the way we operate around here, so let’s include
cultural considerations in our new mission and vision
statements that reflect on our strategic planning goals. I look
forward to receiving a preliminary report prior to our meeting.
Thanks,
Seth Smith, CEO
