DESCRIPTION:For thirty years, John Abrams and his co-workers at the South Mountain 
 Company design/build firm have been quietly changing how business is done. 
 As a proponent of working for the benefit of people and community, John 
 explores how responsible business practice can promote local culture, 
 create social equity, and maintain ecological balance. Come hear John 
 Abrams, the author of The Company We Keep, present: REINVENTING SMALL 
 BUSINESS FOR PEOPLE, COMMUNITY AND PLACE.  In his talk, CEO/author John 
 Abrams will touch on the idea of company as community and how companies can 
 build strong and lasting relationships with the particular regions they 
 serve; the value of employee ownership, and the difference it has made to 
 his own company; the importance of familiarity, and how and why he and his 
 colleagues have challenged the “gospel of growth;” and the power of 
 long-term thinking as a means of harnessing the optimism and the will that 
 it takes to make and sustain real change.     A Q&A period, book signing, 
 and food & wine reception will follow John’s presentation. For more
