We started in San Diego with two private receptions. This was a great way to have direct time with people who helped grow SAIC. On Thursday, April 19th, Warwick’s held a book signing. Susan McBeth, Warwick’s events coordinator, began with introductions. Dr. Beyster followed with a few words on the book’s key principles such as the benefits of employee ownership. He and Peter Economy signed books until 9:00p.m. The signing was a sell out. Over one hundred people attended.
The following week, SAIC hosted a wonderful reception at Campus Point. Over 200 people attended this reception, which included short presentations and book signing. There were new and long-time employee, former employees, and a few potential next generation employees. During it all, recent photos from the March McLean reception at SAIC as well as older photos from the history of SAIC were showing on two large screens as a slideshow.
