Perry, has done all we ask of a new Chair in the New Group Build process. He has invested substantial time and effort, closely qualified his member prospects, effectively positioned the Vistage value proposition, and has quickly launched his first group; all things considered, a model new group launch. We warmly welcome Perry to the Great Lakes Region and know that he will make many future contributions to his members and our Vistage community.”
