POSTMASTER Send changes to: Jaime Waddle, 114 East Main St., P.O. Box 189, Panora, IA 50216 FALL 19 Talent and technology make a powerful pair. When people with the right skills and traits are given the tools required for success, virtually anything is possible. In this issue of Solutions for Business , we explore this idea from several angles. On page 3, we share 6 Reasons to Have Us Manage Your Wi-Fi. Since a fast and reliable Wi-Fi network is essential to productivity, it makes sense to have this tool managed by the talented technicians at Panora Telco and Guthrie Center Communications. Talent and technology also team up at Allen Family Chiropractic, the subject of the Business Spotlight on pages 4 and 5. This Guthrie Center clinic offers a variety of chiropractic services using different adjusting tables and other health care equipment. To stay connected, the staff relies on internet and phone services from Guthrie Center Communications. What is a Smart Rural Community? You’ll find the answer to that question on page 6. But here’s a hint: It involves talented people using broadband technology to move their communities forward. Panora Telco and Guthrie Center Communications were recently named a Smart Rural Community Provider by NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association, and we’re honored to receive this recognition. On page 7, you’re encouraged to Make Sure You Actively Listen to Employees. After all, the talent you have working for your business is one of your greatest assets. I’m proud of the incredible talent and technology we have at Panora Telco and Guthrie Center Communications. Please contact us whenever you need information or assistance. Sincerely, Andrew M.
