JT gives me a great deal of pleasure

I to begin writing this monthly column tor The Merchant Masazine alons with my other duties as managing diredtor of WBMA.

Ross Kincaid, whose picture has appeared with this column for so many years, remains with Western as director of the Learning Resource Center, the educational branch of WBMA.

Under the direction ofl the LRC Advisory Council, his objective is to develop educational programs for management, mid-management and non-management personnel. Initially, particular emphasis is being placed on sales development workshops. Ross has scheduled the first one for the Reedsport/Coos Bay region the 23-25th of this month.

The Young Westerners Club conference held at Rosario Resort on secluded San Juan Island resort was a beautiful setting ior the 5th YWC Conference on June l5-16. The 73 enthusiastic registrants made this another excellent meetlng.

The YWC Board decided to limit conferences in the future to one each year to be held in the winter. Youns Wesierners
