GMT hosts Dr. Michelli…Friday’s Good Morning Tucson event was a success! Approximately 280 guests attended the breakfast event at the Westin to learn more about customer services. Dr. Michelli addressed the audience for well over an hour and infused attendees with knowledge on how to improve customer service and empower employees. In this economic era, customer service is key to keeping customers. A special thanks to the GMT committee for their hard work and enthusiasm for this event!

Women in Business in July!...July’s meeting was a very informative one. Karen Whitley, Financial Consultant with AXA Advisors, came to talk about Financial Wellness for Women. According to Karen, women tend to live longer than men and the average woman accumulates less retirement funds than men due to fewer years in the workforce. It is important for women to act now and take care of themselves financially.  Everyone had a great time making contacts! Our next WIB meeting will be August 25.  Click here to view photos from the event.
