CEO's Corner

CEO’s Corner:

Over the past ninety days we have been working hard to improve the ways we communicate with our clients, partners and community. In a time when economic tensions are heightened, we understand that effective and open communication is even more critical to business relationships. The cornerstone of our effort has been around our newly designed website. Highlighted by our new “Connect with CQ” page, we have opened a bigger window into our company to keep everyone better informed and to provide pertinent information about our business, industry, and economy. By visiting www.compuquip.com, you will see many exciting and new features and I sincerely hope you will visit the site and give us your feedback.

In parallel with being more open with our community, Compuquip has “Gone Green” effective early May. After attending a Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce (GMCC) Seminar, we realized the need to be a better corporate citizen and role model in the worldwide effort of “going green”. By reaching out to our employees, we received a tremendous amount of suggestions, some of which we implemented immediately, and some that will take time. So far, we have stopped using styrofoam cups, we turn our computers off at night and we have reduced our office lights by 30%. We encourage each one of you to do the same at your organizations and at home.

As many know, I have been actively involved in the GMCC and I am pleased and honored to announce that I have been reappointed Chair of the Technology Committee. The Technology Committee did a stellar job developing educational programs and organizing networking events at a time when the economy demands more involvement from all of us. Of special pride was the Annual Awards Luncheon where we recognized some very deserving executives and, for the first time, created a student category awarding the top collegiate technical student. Over 325 attendees enjoyed a first class event to celebrate our industry.

Though our crystal ball into the economy continues to be cloudy, servicing our clients, partners and community continue to be our top priority. Our doors are always open and we welcome you to let us know how we can help!

Alberto Dosal, President & CEO
