Top Echelon Ohio Golf Group Outing a Huge Success . . . Again!

There are some Core Group events that have become staples of Top Echelon Network down through the years.  One of those events, the Top Echelon Ohio Golf Group Outing, occurred just recently.  The outing was held on Thursday, July 15, at Windmill Lakes Golf Club in Ravenna, Ohio.

The outing is in its seventh year (there were two events held the first year), and once again, it was a runaway success.  A number of Preferred Member recruiters attended the outing, and as has been the tradition, there were many awards passed out at the end of the day.  The winners of those awards are listed below:

According to Debra Stitt, CPC of Quality Source Inc. of Ohio, the organizer of the event, the golf outing has continued to grow and evolve since its inception.  While there are some recruiters who participate each and every year, there are also new recruiters and guests who attend on a consistent basis.

“It seems to get better and better every year,” said Stitt.  “The regulars keep coming back and getting more comfortable with each other, and because of that, any guests that come feel like they’re blending right in.  Everybody has a lot of fun, and they’re able to talk business, too.  Although participation was down this year due to an unusual number of physical injuries, I think this was one of the best events we’ve had yet.”

Events such as the Top Echelon Ohio Golf Group Outing and the combined Regional Core Group meeting at The Hemminger Farm are just two examples of networking events that hold many benefits for Preferred Members.  Sure, the economy isn’t the greatest at the moment, but these recruiters still get together, they still have fun and network, and more importantly, they still make placements together.
