Every once in a while an opportunity comes along that one just has to take. And while I had every intention of growing Stephen Koranda & Associates and not moving from Kansas, when I learned about the opportunity in Norman, Oklahoma, to direct the CVB, I had to take it. Besides, in today's economy, one has to go with a sure thing.

Naturally I still have contacts with associates and if either one of us can assist, please let me know. But in the meantime, I'll focus on the immediate task at hand - the Norman, OK CVB. In the spirit of Bill Geists' last Z-news, I still plan to continue these dialogues so that we continue to connect.
