Lead Or Be Left Behind
NADL 2010 Vision 21 Meeting
Las Vegas, Nev.
Jan. 21 – 23, 2010
Seven steps to creating your laboratory's destiny.
The dental laboratory profession is not a playground for the lazy and the gutless. It is a proving ground for entrepreneurs who have a passion to make vision a reality. You know this. You’ve lived this. And you know that sometimes circumstances make that vision turn a bit hazy. On occasion, you've looked out at the laboratory and questioned where do I go from here?
Wonder no more. At NADL's Vision 21 meeting you’ll clarify your plan for your laboratory and learn the seven steps to creating your laboratory’s destiny.
As Donald McGannon, former president and chairman of the board of Westinghouse Broadcasting Corporation, once said, "Leadership is an action, not a position." Now is the time to act. It's time to lead or be left behind. We look forward to seeing you in Vegas.
