SMC Business Councils Promoting The Leader Board(TM)

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- SMC Business Councils (SMC) is promoting a program called The Leader Board(TM) that will help business owners participate in peer-to-peer study groups. "The Leader Board is a safe place to talk about difficult stuff," said Rich Snebold, founder of The Snebold Family Business Partners, LLC who will facilitate the program.

Interested business owners will find detailed information about The Leader Board(TM) on SMC's website -- www.smc.org. "The Leader Board(TM) is not a fishing pool, and is not a support or networking group," Snebold said. "It is, instead, a framework for business owners to meet regularly to get advice and feedback from fellow, non-competing business owners." Topics are customized to the specific needs of the group. Solutions discussed and subsequent action plans are strategically sound because they are based on real experiences shared by peers who have already experienced the problem.

Entrepreneurs who would like to learn more about The Leader Board(TM) program
are invited to attend any one of three FREE Informational programs sponsored by SMC Business Councils as follows:

• Wednesday, November 18, 2009 and Wednesday, December 2, 2009 from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. (both days) at SMC's Headquarters, Westinghouse Research & Technology Park, 1382 Beulah Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15235.
