We are currently working with each of the participating companies (7 of them) to implement common training needs.

Home/Core Team In addition to the extended Core Team for the Region, The Leadership Team and the Core Team made a decision to institute a “working’ group consisting of fewer members of the Core Team and that meets on a monthly basis to review and discuss Region goals and progress. This has resulted in better communication between the Team Leaders, the Core Team and the Project Manager.
