About the Cover:
Five Kwik Kopy Business Center owners gathered at
Northwest Forest in October for the semi-annual KKBC
Focus Group. This was the 25th meeting for these
owners. The members of a focus group serve as a “board
of directors” for each other, helping improve financials,
work flow, staffing, and a myriad of other issues.
Pictured are Jerry Hays, David Vaughan, Dan Jones, and
Scott Fenneman. Jay Groot (standing) and Leah White
are group facilitators. To participate in a new focus
group, contact either Jay or Leah at 800-231-1304.
