More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

Berkshire Enterprises Breakfast Business Forum - March 10, 2008
The Berkshire Enterprises next business breakfast forum will be held on Friday, March 21st from 7:30 to 9:00 AM at the Williams Inn in Williamstown. The forum is called FOCUS--Keeping an Eye on the Most Important and will feature a discussion with Steve Fogel, the Program Director of Berkshire Enterprises. The forum is designed for owners and managers of small businesses and organizations.
Organizations performance often suffers when leaders focus on too many areas and lose track of what they are supposed to be doing. Employees, customers, suppliers, and other stake holders do not know what the organization stands for and what it is trying to do for them. We will discuss identifying where to focus and how to remain dedicated to that focus in spite of other stresses and calls to change direction.
In today’s business environment, there is a temptation to try to be all things to all people. We are trying to please everyone. Unless organizations focus on what we do best and find a niche where people need their products and services, the organizations will fail whether they are small companies or giants. The forum will focus on helping small organizations and businesses succeed.
The Business Forum is free and a light refreshments and coffee will be served. Space is limited and reservations are required. For reservations or for more information about the Forums, call Steve Fogel at Berkshire Enterprises at 413-236-2141.
The program is the second of a series of monthly Business Forums focusing on practical business issues for small businesses that Berkshire Enterprises is holding in North County. The Forums are sponsored by Berkshire Bank, Legacy Banks, Greylock Federal Credit Union, TD Banknorth, and the Pittsfield Cooperative Bank. Berkshire Enterprises is a program of the Office for Workforce Development at Berkshire Community College. |
