If DCG’s Benchmarking Session on April 15th reached only one person, it would have been worthwhile. Fortunately, we know that this one person was reached many times over at this amazing event, as was evidenced by the awesome e mails, faxes and phone calls we received from the attendees. Their insightful comments appear throughout this Mind Matters issue as well as the next. Here, I would like to spotlight George Sanchez, Executive Director of the Washington Heights Business Improvement District Management Association, Inc. This organization is responsible for economic development, advocating on behalf of merchants, providing supplemental sanitation services and programmatic activities. Sanchez and his staff provide major solutions all year long, interfacing with the Mayor, Governor and all government agencies. They have quite a varied and full agenda. George said, “I came to the benchmarking event fully expecting to spend only an hour or two since I had other invitations on hand. But something magical happened and I had to stay throughout the session! And I left much more energized than when I walked in!” (This is exactly what we were hoping to accomplish.) George reflected further, “I’ve attended motivational meetings, quality, TQM meetings, Xerox — you name it — and this was my best day ever at a workshop!” He took a breath and added, “This event reached more than my brain. It reached my soul!” (BINGO!!!) “I was impressed with Tony Buzan because he made associations involving memory fun! Host Tony Dottino orchestrated the event with integrity and energy!” George went on, “and what I heard from the presenters made me realize the problems that must be addressed at our company!” By George, I think he got it!!! Stay tuned to my next column for “Benchmarking Part 2”‡ - Jackie Sulé
