As CDANA President it’s my privilege to be an invited guest to the DAC meetings held every 6 months in Rosemont. I must say that it’s been an inspiration to see both Culligan and the DAC dealers pulling in the same direction when it comes to working to improve the Culligan System for ALL of us. Scott Clawson and his Team have a clearly defined set of company goals for the year, clarified and distilled by the Strategic Deployment Process (SDP). Your Culligan Dealer Council representatives put an incredible amount of their own time and effort into helping Culligan identify and prioritize those goals, even if they’re not always a part of that formal process. They give honest and constructive feedback to Culligan on what’s going on in the marketplace and what they feel Culligan needs to do to enable the dealers to best approach and compete in the field. These reps, as well as Culligan leadership, deserves our hearty thanks as well as ongoing support in the way of constructive feedback on how to make the Culligan System better, which could well mean periodically querying your employees and bringing up issues of concern in your dealerships and your marketplace. Much of what was covered at DAC, and more, will be further elucidated at the upcoming CDANA Convention in Orlando...including not-to-miss sessions on...Culligan Branding initiative update...New Drinking Water Options...World Class Customer Experience... Hiring Top Candidates...Market Development and Acquiring New Businesses...Tools for Commercial Lead Generation...Service Selling...Route Optimization Strategies... Commercial for Small to Mid-Sized Dealers...Drinking Water at Every Appointment... Increased Sales Due to Financing...Strategic Deployment Process (SDP)...Leaving a Legacy: Passing on the Gift of Ownership...Golden Handcuff Planning...Turning Crisis into Opportunity...Next Generation Committee update (Live Chat, Inventory & Sales App)...Paperless Office. Not to mention the various fun events and dinners planned, opportunities for networking and a First Class venue! A hearty thanks to Jennifer and the JSJ group, as well as the dedicated members of the Convention Planning committee and many others who have put in HOURS to make this convention a great event! “It will be exciting to I’m also happy to report that our CDANA organization is currently very strong, and in fact we have record high membership and registrations for our Orlando convention as feel the Culligan buzz well.

From the Collection of Embracing Our Differences, Long Island: A Project of the Suffolk Center on the Holocaust, Diversity & Human Understanding, Inc. The National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University® Thursday, October 22, 2009 Champion Sponsor Celebration of Suburban Diversity 2009 Welcome Dear Friends, Welcome! On behalf of the Celebration of Suburban Diversity 2009 Committee and the National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University - on behalf of everyone who believes that diversity is essential to our social and economic survival - welcome to a unique night of artistry, honors and ideas. The two of us come from different cultures, but the Celebration started in our hearts with a shared idea - to "walk the talk" at the "Diverse Suburb" conference to which this banquet is con- nected. We'd hoped to do this by bringing together the racial, ethnic, religious and other groups literally changing the face of Long Island. And so we have: Just look around you at the new sub- urbia. We found the community's enthusiasm for "celebrating" diversity to be so strong that we were able not only to cover our costs but to generate funds for scholarships and research into diversity- related issues. We were thrilled to find sponsors for the High School Diversity Essay Writing Contest and for academic studies of the new immigrants transforming suburbia. And with your generous support, we hope to hold this event for years to come. Our stellar group of co-chairs have helped enormously.
