Special thanks to Sam De Angelis (CCM) and Ron Brasel (Control Services) for joining The Unified Group on a prospecting trip to St. Louis. As part of the Member of the Year Club, both Sam and Ron help recruit and evaluate prospective companies for membership. There is no ideal size or mix of capabilities for a potential new member; which makes it that much more important to meet prospects face-to-face to get a better understanding of their culture, their people, and their future goals. A huge thank you to both Sam and Ron for taking two days out of their schedule (in summer of all times!) to meet us in St. Louis. Ron drove almost six hours from Omaha and Sam stepped in last minute (we asked him the day before) when another member got pulled into an emergency customer meeting to help us find the right fit. We couldn’t have asked for two better friends to help us find the next great member!
