NE of the things that always saddens the heart is to see a business that has flourished for years suddenly, or perhaps not so suddenly, close.

Many of these closings can be attributed to not having any younger people around who want to run the business, be they lamily or emploYees.

"Second Growth" can be an answer to that situation. This was one of the reasons for starting a group for young people and we are already seeing it work in some businesses.

The San Diego "Under 40" grouP got together, organized, and conducted a meeting for "second Growth" at the La Jolla Village Inn on October 6. Thirty people turned out to hear one ofthe best presentations on the "No GrowthSlow Growth" initiatives of any that have been done for the association. And there have been many.

Kim Kilkenny, of the Construction Industry Federation of San Diego County, was the speaker. Kilkenny presented the facts about the slowdown in housing, the job losses and the other problems we would experience upon passage of the no grow initiatives. It was just the kind of information that all of us need to make the right decision at the ballot box in November

Cheryl Hill, San Diego Wholesale, and Charlyn Jennings, CJ Redwood, put a lot of time and effort into getting people out for the meeting and in conducting the meeting. They are both to be commended.

"second Growth" can offer the forum to bring this and other valuable information to your "40 and under" people. It can give them leadership opportunities that will prepare them for management and ownership positions within the industry later on. It can help develop their self esteem and build their confidence in themselves as an integral part of the lumber industry.

It provides them an opportunity to meet people they know only by voice on the phonel an opportunity to discuss industry problems they have been confronted with: a chance to broaden their knowledge of the industry and be a better person for the industry.

Second Growth participation on the part of your "40 and under" people may mean the difference between your business thriving in later years or not ever existing.

Two or three dinner meetings and a weekend seminar is all the investment you need to make. The enthusiasm of the employees and their increased productivity through attendance will quickly offset those costs plus more. Get your people involved. 2nd Growth is the future of the lumber industry. Be a part now so there will be an industry to have a future in.
