Synergema Roundtable; “How Do You Get Your Creative Juices Flowing?” #BCAProud @Synergema

A big Thank You to Brandon and Heather Steiger for helping “Get Our Creative Juices Flowing” and sharing their great talents with us at the Synergema Roundtable on Wednesday. The Thinking Putty and lunch boxes were a huge hit. Everyone took away something valuable from the discussion on how to inspire experiences and help move the needle. From Dream Boards to War Rooms to going off the grid…everyone has a different ways to ‘get creative’ and the application of creativity is universal in everything we do. One of the best take aways was, “find 5 things you can’t do and find ways to do them”.

A big thank you also to Ryan Dugan, of AEC, for being our mystery guest and giving tours of his great facility.

DDP Roundtable; “Incentive Compensation” #BCAProud

Thank you Paul Becker and Rusty Boyko of DDP Roofing Services, we greatly appreciate your hospitality and Roundtable topic, “Incentive Compensation.” It was interesting to learn what each member’s organization does to move the quality bar to create competition and greatness. It appears the most successful incentive programs are a combination of individual and company performance. Thanks to all the members who contributed to the conversation!

BCA Proudly Welcomes SoldierStrong as the January Charity Spotlight #BCAProud @SabreSystemsInc @SoldierStrong

We’re very honored to have the SoldierStrong organization as our January Charity Spotlight. Recommended to us by BCA’s Marc Franzoni, this organization is dedicated to greatly improving the lives of U.S. Military veterans.

SoldierStrong, previously known as SoldierSocks, helps American patriots literally take their new steps forward. Through educational scholarships and by harnessing the most innovative technology in advanced rehabilitation, we help our returning service men and women to continue moving in the only direction they should know – forward. Nearly every dollar SoldierStrong receives goes towards direct support of American patriots so that they can re-acclimate to civilian life. Our organization works to remind those men and women who sacrificed so much that we are forever thankful.

Small goods. Large impact. From this simple ethos,

Celebrate with Us! The Sabre Systems Launch Party, Thursday, January 28th #BCAProud @SabreSystemsInc

Rodriguez Consulting Roundtable; The Power of Mentors #BCAProud @Rodriguez_LLC

A Huge Thank you goes out to Lou Rodriguez of Rodriguez Consulting who hosted yesterday’s Roundtable. The impactful topic, “The Power of Mentors” created a platform for an amazing conversation. BCA Members learned about Rodriguez Consulting’s work on all the Philadelphia water systems including Fairmount Water Work’s Museum! It was fascinating to learn Philadelphia’s original water system consisted of tanks and pipes made of wood!

Many members contributed their thoughts including Mitch Weinick, who differentiated the terms Advisor, Role Model, Coach, and Mentor for the group. Mentors can take any role in life, and are valuable at any age, and many members agreed it is important to mentor those who are younger. Phil Jaurigue and Brian Lipstein contributed that it can be lonely at the top of your company, so learning from those you mentor and taking advice from others is important.

Thanks to all the BCA Members who contributed their time and energy to the BCA “Braintrust” and enjoyed a beautiful day out at Fairmount Water Works!
