Dick Emens sent the following message to our LinkedIn group and would like to extend the offer here as well:
Would you like to receive it at half-price?
Don’t know how many of you have read NY Times writer Tom Friedman’s new book, but Bea and I think it contains some valuable information. We were fortunate enough to hear Tom speak recently–and he said basically what he says (in more words) in the book.
His basic message is one of optimism, which in these turbulent, unsettling (you put whatever adjective you want) times, is refreshing!
If you would like to obtain a copy of the book at half price, we’ve made arrangements for members of the Conway Center for Family Business to do just that.
Sincerely,
Dick
