Study Group Meeting September 2009
Share Groups
Jeff Bernard facilitates several industry "share" groups in conjunction with SIGMA and Financial Resource Management Corporation - Study Groups. For more information contact Jeff Bernard.
SIG Groups - SIGMA members have the opportunity to enhance their SIGMA experience by participating in working share groups consisting of non-competing SIGMA marketers. The SIG Groups are comprised of 10 to 12 SIGMA members who meet at least twice per year. Each meeting typically includes six to eight hours of a facilitated business meeting followed by a joint dinner or other social event with spouses. Meetings are held either in conjunction with SIGMA meetings or hosted by a member in their home market.
Study Groups - The purpose of a financial study group is to provide a mechanism for a group of non competing distributors to get together for a confidential exchange of experiences, solutions and ideas at regular meetings; and to receive the benefit of reliable, comparative operating data on a periodic basis. The objective of the group is to help members improve the overall performance of their businesses.
