Meetings Make the Economy Go Roundby Vince PoscenteAuthor of The Ant and the Elephant, Invinceable Principles and The Age of Speed Recently a host of meetings across our land have been cancelled or postponed. A reason that is popping up more and more is, "We don't want to look bad." According to one speakers bureau owner, "All of a sudden, holding a meeting is unfashionable." But there is a HUGE economic disadvantage to canceling meetings. Let's get one thing out of the way. Of course we don't want taxpayer's bailout funds to go towards self-serving executives wanting to add to their vacation plans. But economic stimulus is not about bonuses for underperforming executives. Hard working employees are losing the chance to grow their companies and celebrate their success at a time when the media is intent on beating home a message of doom and gloom. Sales conferences are being cancelled at a time when they are needed the most. Remember, "Nothing happens until somebody sells something." Cancel a meeting and you stop the flow of funds to other industries such as travel, hospitality, food service, printing, production, entertainment, training and development. Bailout funds are intended to get the economy moving yet any effort to spend a dollar is held with suspicion and even contempt. Please take a moment to read below. There are jobs at stake! Stop Congress from banning companies from hosting events and conferences!
