I’m not sure how the tradition of “cutting the ribbon” got started, but for local businesses like Intermountain Staffing Resources, it’s a great ritual to embrace.
When a new business comes to town — particularly a small business — you have to know the owners and managers have a thousand fears about the success or failure of their entrepreneurial adventure. Gathering together for a ribbon-cutting is one way to gather support from an established business community and pass it on. It’s that symbolic gesture of goodwill that can add a shot of confidence and some great recognition to new area businesses. It can also help you as a business man or woman to be the first to establish important business connections.
Today, July 19, chamber members gathered to welcome Intermountain Staffing Resources. Ryan Dawson is the branch manager for the business at 583 South Main Street, Suite 4.
It is the business’ purpose to: ” . . . partner with employees, clients and the community to create opportunities for growth and mutual success.”
Some of our most loyal chamber members came out to congratulate Ryan including Harry Brown, Zions Bank; Terry Keyes, Wells Fargo; Zurl Thornock, Allegiance Direct; Christine Goulding and Matias Quintanilla, SOS Staffing; Andrew Springer, American Family Insurance and Jim Mullenaux, Convergys. Tim Taylor, At Home Technology was there and Ryan’s personal friend, Ed Palmer was by his side. Of course the chamber office manager Judy Dunn was there making sure things ran smoothly.
Ryan will no-doubt remember the ribbon-cutting participants for taking time out of their busy days to encourage him in his leadership role.
Hey, thanks! No. Really. I mean it. Your support is important to me.
