Big Speaker on Small Business Comes to Maine

A few months ago I wrote a review of Small Giants: Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big by Bo Burlingham, Editor at Large of Inc. magazine.
This was a great book, that looked at a number of small businesses that could have grown, but focused instead on just being the best company they could have. Since so many stories we read in business magazines are about mergers, acquisitions, and unbridled growth, seeing successful companies that chose another path can be refreshing for a small business owner who doesn't feel that she needs to be big to succeed.
Well, Bo Burlingham is coming to Portland, Maine on Thursday, June 7th, 2007, thanks to MEBSR, Maine Businesses for Social Responsibility.
The event will be held at the Mariners Church Banquet Center. Cocktails & Hors d'oeuvres start at 5:30, the presentation begins at 7.
Unlike other events, space is very limited. Right now you can call 207.338.8908 to pay by credit card, but once I get a PDF of the signup sheet I'll post that as well.
Members pay $35, non-members pay $50.
