Kerry's
Korner...... “Business Affairs....Your partner for successful solutions” resulted from a partnership between Dr. Tom Cannon, Director of UTSA’s Tourism Program in the College of Business, and my direct reports and staff. We are appreciative of Dr. Cannon’s commitment of resources and time to assist us with this important and strategic initiative. Along with our brand, comes our promise to all who we serve, “We are committed to helping you achieve your goals through excellence in service – every person, every day, every job.” I encourage you to explore the implications of our brand and the service promise in your staff meetings and discussions with your colleagues. By
the way, thanks for your support at the Business Affairs Forum! We
had a great time! |
