Editor's Notes

  • #2 Before we get started, let’s review your expectations for the day and what is in the package we have put together for you. If you would like to know more about HNI, our parent company, we have enclosed our Annual Report. You can review our financials, who is on our Board of Directors and any other details you may wish to know about us. There is a small two-part form in the folder that we need to ask you to please fill out and sign. We will be sharing some very exciting new products and business strategies with you today and we ask that you not share those with anyone outside of your group today. As with any company, new ideas and products need to remain confidential until we publicly release them, I think you will really enjoy your “sneak peeks”. Obtain yellow copies from each guest and save them for Raquel. We have also enclosed some PR releases and copies of awards we are proud to have won. Introduce yourself, go around table for introductions.
