From the Ground Up piece commenting on the findings of the Maine Economic Research Institute\u27s 2005 Senior Management Survey.

To improve the results of the next survey, the business community should partner with Maine\u27s educational institutions, invest in employee development programs and collaborate to drive pro-business initiatives
