President DiPietro "visits" IPS

On October 3 President DiPietro will hold his annual "System to Institute" visit with IPS. Instead of holding a half-day meeting with a series of power point presentations demonstrating how great we are, we are taking a different approach this year. We are taking the President in the "field."

Northeast Tennessee is the site of this year's visit. The day will start at the Greene County Asphalt Plant and include a visit to the Greene County Courthouse, the Kingsport Higher Education Center and at least one CIS customer's site. A luncheon will include a host of customers discussing workforce and economic development.

Steve Thompson, Rick Hall, Pat Hardy and Dwaine Raper are the President's hosts for the day. I look forward to hearing about the experience and how well it achieved our goal of helping the President better understand the work that we do.

Stay tuned...
