More than 20 foundation repair contractors from across the United States gathered on March 2-3 in Omaha, NE to attend a networking event for Production Managers. The event included round table discussions, large group 
discussions, team building activities, networking opportunities and social interaction. Production managers from various foundation repair companies around the country helped set the agenda by determining which issues were most common in their day-to-day activities. Some topics discussed included: hiring new foreman and installers, training new hires, keeping employees motivated, setting goals, running effective meetings, and more. Some of the feedback from those who attended the event included: “The most valuable part of the event was to share what I know with the group and grow and learn from others on what I don’t know.” “The interaction with other managers was great. All of the ideas were great. A lot of the things I learned here can be easily implemented.” “Everyone in attendance has dealt with or is dealing with very similar issues. It makes the conversations and solutions much more pertinent.”
