Social responsibility and helping the community is very important at North. If a donation on our part can help save a life, we will always be on board! North was able to donate a significant amount to help Jaime.

 The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world’s largest voluntary health organization devoted to supporting and funding blood cancer research, education, and patient services. Their mission is to cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and Myeloma while striving to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Every four minutes a person is diagnosed with a blood cancer, and the LLS estimates about 137,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed in 2010 alone. North is very proud to be helping such a cause.

Bob, a St. Louis native, attended Evangel University in Springfield and graduated with degrees in Public Administration and Business Administration. In April 2008, Bob joined North as a sales rep and he advanced quickly. After being promoted to Assistant Manager and learning the ins and outs of running an office, he began preparations to open his own office for North! While we are sad to see Bob and his team leave St. Louis, we are so excited to open a new office! We expect big things from Cannonball, Inc. (Bob’s new company) and we can’t wait to plan a road trip south to visit him! Good luck, Bob!!

In St. Louis, our team has been working hard in the field all week! Also working hard are our visitors from the Detroit office who are finishing up their second week of training with North! Joining his team in St. Louis yesterday was Mike Rosenberg, the president of Detroit Business Consulting! Mike (pictured to the left of Rebby, President of North) made the trip from Detroit to visit North and to see how the training of his team was going!

To celebrate everyone’s hard work in the field and in the office this week, we planned an extra special team night! Last night, we met on a different type of field (baseball field) in Forest Park to compete in a friendly game of kickball! It was a beautiful summer evening and the perfect night for a fun competition! Everyone enjoyed the opportunity to relax and unwind after a busy week!

We hope everyone has a wonderful Fourth of July!!

She then moved to St. Louis and joined our team in July of 2007! She was quickly promoted to Management in March of 2008! Since then Nicole (pictured to the left of Rebby, North’s President) has been a hardworking and successful member of North’s management team! She has spent her time with North gaining valuable management experience that will be extremely helpful now as she opens her own office, Coast, Inc!

Joining her in the Windy City are three other members of North‘s team! And while we are really going to miss everyone, we look forward to working closely with Coast, Inc. in the future! We wish Nicole and her team all the best and we can’t wait to come visit!

In other news, Rebby will again spend the next few days in the Windy City visiting Wrinado’s office! We hope she has another successful Chicago trip! Here in St. Louis, we are really enjoying the time spent with our Detroit visitors! They are a smart and fun group of people and we are thrilled to get to know everyone! We also have big news about our website! Yesterday, North’s website was updated and now includes a page which features profiles of several members of our team!
