  • Solidago 21(1), April 2020 ~ 3 ~ Name That Plant Letters Contest Hello Bob
    Solidago Newsletter of the Founded in 1997. Finger Lakes Native Plant Society Logo art of Tall Goldenrod, Solidago altissima, by Nat Cleavitt, 2006. Volume 21, No. 1 April 2020 Editorial Looking Ahead to Spring! by Robert Dirig Dear Readers, HIS ISSUE is arriving a month later than usual, due to my preoccupation with another project throughout the winter. An April date is actually fortuitous, as it parallels some welcome hints of spring in a beleaguered world. The Western Hemisphere, and the whole planet, has recently come under siege by an aggressive micro- scopic pathogenscopic — which is a new experience for most of us. This has necessitated a withdrawal from much that is familiar, as we stay indoors and isolate ourselves from others. An unfortunate corollary of this situation is the cancellation of public events that assemble people. Thus our Steering Committee has reluctantly been obliged to cancel our remaining calendar for the spring, including our evening programs and walks. We hope to reschedule the talks that were planned for March, April, and May in autumn 2020, or early in 2021. In the meantime, please check our website (www.flnps.org) from time to time to see if anything is scheduled in the coming months. We hope to resume a normal schedule in September, and I plan to produce another issue of Solidago in June. Embedded in this nagging inconvenience is a rare gift of time at home for creative and personal pursuits, and a chance just to rest from the frenzy of modern life. Spring proceeds steadily outdoors, as days lengthen, new green leaves and flowers unfold, songbirds return from migration, the earliest butterfly hibernators fly in the woods, and the weather warms.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the other mem- bers of our negotiation committee: Kyle Krenz, Brian Murphy, Vincent Schaaf, Shane Gibson, Greg Storkson, Dave Boetcher, and John Jacobs of IBEW 494. Their hard work and diligence kept our negotiations focused and productive. Since negotiations with our contractors are set- tled, we have called a special meeting on May 4 to ratify the Inside, Residential and Stockperson agreements. If agreements are ratified, wage allocation votes will be handled at the May 11 membership meeting. The VDV contract also has a raise allocation at the May meeting. We will have suggested allocations options ready as per usual. Due to the volume of issues to cover, if you have an allocation for your agreement that you would like to present, either contact the hall or have all calculations done before the meeting. When considering allocations be aware that there will be an increase in the health insurance premiums this year. Health Insurance Allocation On April 25, the Health and Welfare trust had our quarterly meeting. In general, our Plan is in excellent shape. We have done well at keeping costs in check with providing the best coverage we can reasonably provide. The largest driver of cost over the last year has been prescription costs. The trend, since 2015, has been a 10% increase per member cost per year.

  • Millennials in the Sales Profession
    THE FUTURE OF SALES: MILLENNIALS IN THE SALES PROFESSION PRESENTED BY: THE CPSA AND SHANE GIBSON MILLENNIALS IN THE SALES PROFESSION INTRODUCTION Much has been written on the impact of the Millennial Generation on the workforce and on the sales profession. The conventional view of Millennial workers seems to be that they seek purpose, feedback, and work- life balance. Unfortunately many people have also been guilty of labelling Millennials as entitled, easily distracted, impatient, lazy, self-centred and job-hoppers. Sales leaders should not allow generalizations to dictate management style or growth strategy. We must understand and embrace changes to the ways we sell which are happening as a result of new technologies, different work preferences, better business intelligence and alternative channels of communication. We should attempt to recognize our similarities. Many Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers, for example, would also argue that they value work-life balance and purposeful work. Millennials or Gen-Y are just asking for it en masse - and they happen to be the largest group of people entering the workforce in the past 60 years. The way people work is more often connected with their life stage and outlook than the result of significant generational differences. Rather than suggesting the answers for future sales success lies in knowing how to manage ‘Millennials’, this e-book, written by the CPSA and Shane Gibson, will TOLL-FREE: 1-888-267-CPSA (2772) | CPSA.COM © CANADIAN PROFESSIONAL SALES ASSOCIATION 2018 2 MILLENNIALS IN THE SALES PROFESSION instead attempt to re-consider the motivations of today’s workforce and ways to manage tomorrow’s multi- generational sales teams.
