A MILESTONE PASSED:
Two TRG clients have recently cooperated to achieve a notable (and pleasantly visible) outcome.
Clint Good Architects of Purcellville Virginia has launched a new website well worthy of notice by Agenda readers. Featuring the accomplishments of Clint Good, AIA, and recent award winner of the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Virginia Society of Architects. Site developed/placed on-line by the Studio Cypher team, of Bloomington Indiana, www.studiocypher.com The site provides highly visual examples of commercial and private structures, as well as impressive interiors designed by CGA.
WORTHY OF SPECIAL NOTE:
Both Del Mar College and Tyler Junior College of Texas, have recently received their 10 year re-accreditation from SAACS, the accrediting body of all higher education institutions in the South East, without a single requirement for improvement noted for either.
The nation-wide re-accreditation process follows a rigorous set of reviews, inspections and focused interviews that often result in calls for compulsory change. The achievement of these two schools speaks to the quality of the institutions and the professionalism of the leadership who, in each case, took it on themselves to assure that both these complex organizations would consistently offer education of the highest quality to meet the varied needs of their communities.

Focus on the Future
Guest Predictions:
Marc Paul Chinoy
Guest Predictions is a regular feature in which we ask leaders in a number of professions a set of questions that affect us all.
This month in honor of the start of TRG's 20th Year and for the first time since initiating the interviews 3 years ago, the "Guest" is the founder of TRG and the interview was conducted by Bob Chirles and Eric Zimmerman, TRG Associates.
Marc Paul Chinoy (MPC) is the president of The Regis Group, Inc. (TRG www.regisgroup.com ), headquartered in Leesburg, Virginia, and is an executive facilitator experienced in strategic planning, corporate assessments, issue resolution, and the development of working alliances. MPC is the creator of The Agenda Newsletter.
Q: What changes in your professional environment in the past 3-5 years have you found to be the most beneficial?
A: The accelerated evolution of the Internet and critical importance of the world wide web is a culture shifting reality. Instantaneous outreach, coupled with amazing, life like tools are opening new avenues of development for all of us at an unprecedented rate. These areas are available to all leaders interested in expanding their reach.
Q: What changes have been the most troubling to you?
A: The top heavy demographic of the Boomers, has led to a series of tough scenarios. A disproportionally large group simultaneously exercising by-right demands could push succeeding generations under water financially. Even unmovable icons such as Social Security benefits are at risk of being de-valued under these conditions. Also, the using the web, while important to them, is not second (or first) nature.
Q: How will globalization affect your professional area in the near term?
A: The positive is an endless market horizon, opened and refreshed by the web. The negative is swelling competition throughout that marketplace, calling for immediate re-planning by most leaders, many of whom will be too slow to shift.
Q: What significant challenges might be anticipated in your professional area in the next few years?
A: The need to rethink presentation through the web on an ongoing (and accelerating) basis must be dealt with constantly, to the potential benefit of those who aggressively seek those newer/faster/better methods that are readily available to ALL.
Q: What are the greatest challenges confronting young professionals in Western culture today?
A: The need to drop ALL assumptions of entitlement and seek to continuously enhance their knowledge and capabilities directly from the generations that have preceded them. Regardless of the level of their education, young professionals should seek out training and mentorship on a permanent/rolling basis.

President's Letter
So here is a tip of the hat to two very special leaders.
The article in the middle column points to simultaneous achievement of recognition of excellence by two public higher ed institutions at either end of the great state of Texas.... Del Mar College in Corpus Christi and Tyler Junior College their distant colleagues operating the four linked campuses at the far end of the state, centered in Tyler.
While the realities that to achieve this form of distinction calls for campus-wide talent and devotion to excellence in education (and in BOTH of these cases this means multiple campuses) I would like to single out two leaders who are more than coincidentally colleagues and friends... Dr. Mark Escamilla, President of Del Mar College, who immediately before assuming his post at Del Mar was formerly the Provost at Tyler Junior College, and Dr. Michael Metke, President at the extra-ordinary system centered across the state in Tyler...
To you and your respective teams I say, “Job Well Done!”
