It seems that ‘not having enough time’ is a common problem these days. During a recent program by the Chicago NAMA Chapter, members learned successful time management skills from Frank Reed. Reed is the Staff Development Manager and Head Trainer for Rural Press Ltd., Sydney, Australia. Rural Press is the parent company for Feedstuffs and Farm Progress Companies.

Seventeen members enjoyed an hour-long program at Pheasant Run Resort in Saint Charles where they evaluated their own time management skills and learned tips on how to become more efficient. After the program, members enjoyed a cocktail hour and had a chance to network with peers in the industry.

Julia Goebel, Rhea & Kaiser, was the winner of an iPod shuffle, the door prize for the event.

Special thanks to Sarah Muirhead of Feedstuffs for coordinating the speaker, to Farm Progress Companies for their sponsorship of the speaker, to Frank Reed for his enlightening presentation, and to Jeff Walter & Ben Church of Rhea & Kaiser for coordinating the meeting arrangements.
