Press Release: Chamber's New Roundtable Receives Rave Reviews

The following is a press release issued last week by the MetroWest Chamber of Commerce:

, in conjunction with the founders of the Stractics Project, recently presented the first in a series of roundtable discussions designed to help local business owners and managers deal with their daily business challenges using a solutions based model.

Hosted by Clark University Graduate School of Management, the event drew an audience of business professionals who learned about the “do’s and don’ts” of Human Resource Policies and Procedures.

The human resources panel consisted of Joseph T. Bartulis, Jr., Esq. of Fletcher, Tilton & Whipple, Sheldon Prenovitz of Administrative Business Resources, Alex Stone of Resource RX and was chaired by the founders of the Stractics Project, Gene Tarsky and Ed Zanchi, of Tarsky, Zanchi and Associates and Bob Feige of CEO 1st Focus, LLC.

“We are delighted that the Stractics team has again proven to be a positive resource for our businesses.  With the level of expertise and their willingness to tackle difficult issues, the Stractics continues to gain momentum as a valuable tool for our membership” said Chamber President, Bonnie Biocchi.

An on-going series, the format is an interaction of “expert panelists” responding to the attendee’s questions and concerns and is especially relevant to small business issues.  

In a survey of participants, 94 percent of the attendees rated the event positively, with 76 percent stating they would “recommend this program to others.”

Future panel discussions will include topics such as “Developing Unique Core Differentiators" and “Working on rather than in your Business."

The Stractics project originated with a question and answer forum on the MetroWest Chamber Web site and blossomed into its own soon-to-be- announced site. Questions or topics for future consideration can be submitted to gtarsky@teamtza.com
