No business
has a customer
or employee
parking space
marked "Attitude."
Attitude, leadership
and listening will be
essential in creating
an innovative and
customer-focused
21st century
organization.
"A leader's
behavior is like
a stone that is
dropped in the
middle of the pond,
and the wave of its
action affects all in
the organization.
I believe leaders and managers should be
located as close to the front line as possible.
They need to be close to the root equations of
the organization. They need to understand
that their jobs are not a rite of passage, but
responsibility-a responsibility they feel every
day as they walk in the corporate culture."
Art Bobrowitz has been a passionate

Jan Meekcoms,
Winner of the 2012
Portland Business Journal
Woman of Influence Orchid Award
The National Federation
of Independent Business
(NFIB) Oregon State
Director Jan Meekcoms
has been named a 2012
Woman of Influence
Orchid Award winner by
the Portland Business
Journal.
“Jan is one of the best
state directors NFIB
has in the country,
man or woman,” said
Daniel Markels, West
Region State Public
Policy Director for NFIB.
“She was very effective
at pushing the smallbusiness
agenda through
this last session of the legislature, so it’s
nice to see her get some recognition,
although knowing Jan, it is not something
she seeks. Her style is to be quietly effective
behind the scenes.”
NFIB is a nonprofit, nonpartisan
organization, representing small and
independent businesses. They provide
discounts, research, online forums,
networking, state and federal lobbying
for small businesses across the United
States. As State Director,
Meekcom’s role is to
advocate on behalf of the
7,500 Oregon members
on legislative issues that
affect their businesses.
The editorial staff at
the Portland Business
Journal selected the
25 winners based on
career accomplishments,
community service,
influence within the
business communities
and the value of their
contributions to their
community.
