Topic: Managing the Future of Saco Bay with Peter Hanrahan

Peter Drucker (1909-2005) was a widely acclaimed and influential management thinker.  His work continues to guide managers all over the world.  He was famously quoted as saying, “the best way to manage the future is to create it.”
There lies to challenge for all of us who care so deeply about the beautiful Saco Bay region.  The evening’s discussion will focus on the steps that must be taken to create that future.

Mr. Drucker further stated that the keys to effective management included setting objectives, organizing the group, motivating and communicating, measuring performance and developing people.

Much of this work has already been done here at Saco Bay, but our efforts must be sustained.  The obstacles we face are daunting, and include climate change, sea level rise and more dramatic storm surges.  We must successfully address these and many other challenges.

We can and must lay the groundwork for positive and meaningful change.  Together we can build the future that our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren deserve.

Menu: Tex-Mex Style
  • Chicken Enchiladas: Shredded Chicken and Cheese in a Corm Tortilla Baked with a piquant Tomato Sauce
  • Carne Asada Soft Taco: Grilled-Marinated Steak Tips and Fixins to build your own
  • Mexican Rice: Long Grain Rice simmered in a spicy Vegetable and Tomato Broth
  • Refried Beans
  • Three Sisters Stew: A Medley of Roasted Squash with Con and Kidney Beans

  • Churros Con Chocolate: Gluten Free-Dairy Free Churros tossed with Cinnamon and Served with Chocolate Sauce
