With Beth Sowell a CMP Certified Meeting Planner and principal of Episode XI, I know that anything posted on your BLOG regarding meetings...I can take to the bank. We tell organizations that people should not be measured or rewarded by the number of hours they spend at work. They should be recognized, honored and rewarded for what they get done while they are there.
