My View of Maine:
From the Editor's Dais

 PRESENTER: Peter Van Allen, Editor, Mainebiz

 Peter Van Allen,Mainebiz editor since April 2014, gets the opportunity to visit businesses from York to The County, as well as Downeast and western Maine. He speaks with leaders of businesses large and small, and elected officials. 

 Peter will present the thoughts of an observant newcomer in a presentation to ACE Friday, November 20. His remarks, coming after a career of working on the Eastern Seaboard in Philadelphia and New York City, as well as in the Midwest at Gary, Ind., will no doubt ring a bell with many in Maine. 

 But a few of his observations may surprise you!

Join Peter Van Allen, Mainebiz Editor, at ACE for his view of Maine: Snapshots from the Editor's desk.

About the Speaker:

Peter Van Allen spent 25-plus years as a business reporter and editor for the Gannett-owned Courier-Post in Cherry Hill, N.J. and the Post-Tribune in Gary, Ind., when it was owned by Knight Ridder; Thomson's American Banker in NYC; and American City Business Journals' Philadelphia Business Journal, where he spent 15 years covering hospitality/tourism, media/marketing, conventions, casinos and a whole lot of other fun stuff. 

 At Mainebiz, he oversees a small but dedicated staff. He encourages them to get on the road and visit companies -- putting the "Maine" in Mainebiz. 

Then Laurie Davis will share with us the wisdom of her own long devotion to managing professional relationships as she leads the Round Table on what to do about unpleasant surprises in contract management.
