Some of these topics include:
- Managing Change

Our management team was polled to help select two of our managers/supervisors to attend the training who demonstrate the willingness and potential to be great leaders within this organization. I am pleased to announce that along with your input, Leif and I have selected Donna Lipphard and Stacy Barber to attend this management training program. Stacy and Donna will attend a 30 minute orientation on Monday January 31st here at BMS and the training program will start on Tuesday February 8th at the Hilton Garden Inn on Wards Road.
I am very exciting about the great opportunity for Stacy, Donna and the BMS Direct organization. Please take a minute to congratulate both of these team members.
