by Dan Klein, Sr., HBAL President
February 2012
 
How many of us have our 2012 business plan complete and in motion? I’m sure many of you also look at long range planning that includes the next several years. Does your outlook for 2012 look brighter than 2011? Many consultants, economists and industry leaders have made their predictions for a significant improvement in building during 2012 and 2013.
 
It’s an honor to serve as your 2012 President. It was an enjoyable evening to share the Installation Ceremony with so many family and friends. Al Trellis brings a wealth of knowledge and experience which he creatively communicates. I am thankful he was able to be with us and pleased, once again that he was able to challenge, educate and encourage us with what he sees regionally and nationally as we move forward in building Lincoln.
 
There are great things coming up soon and I am looking forward to meeting many of you at upcoming events such as the Home & Garden Show, February 9-12 and Chili Cook-off, March 12. I am blessed with the growing relationships formed with other members of HBAL as they are meaningful, enjoyable and uplifting as well as the strength of our association.
 
Blessings to each one and I wish each of our members a safe, productive and profitable 2012!
 
Dan
