I am happy to announce another ground-breaking step NIR is taking to help you navigate the challenges of operating a business in this complex environment. NIR has a new program - Connect with Consultants™ -- that will link you with professionals who have expertise to help you deal with specific problems or can assist in the growing of your business. Although these experienced consultants come from a variety of fields, they share a common understanding of the insurance restoration industry. Each consultant has signed a Connect with Consultants™ code of ethics drawn up by NIR. Furthermore, I know each of these individuals personally and have selected them based on their character and integrity as well as their expertise.

No longer will you have to hope that a consultant will understand the unique aspects of this industry. You may use the Connect with Consultants™ program with the confidence that these hand-picked individuals will provide valuable advice based on their knowledge of this industry and their years of experience within this industry. Those in the Connect with Consultants™ group are all members or associate members of NIR and are ready to assist you in a variety of areas. You can read details of this program and their areas of expertise on the next page.

NIR will begin promoting this program to all members in January but I wanted you, as the business owner, to know about it first. You will be able to speak personally with these consultants about their services at the 20th annual NIR Executive Leadership Conference on April 8-9 in Nashville so I hope you will make your reservations soon.

NIR remains committed to your success; our consulting group and webinars are yet another way that we are enhancing the value of your NIR membership. As we approach 2010 with the hope that the worst of the recession is behind us, you should be thinking about ways that your business can grow and flourish in the coming year. Rest assured that NIR and our Connect with Consultants™ group stand ready to assist you in your business and professional development.
