Miami-Dade County to establish Registry of Local Based Manufacturers

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY TO ESTABLISH REGISTRY OF LOCAL BASED MANUFACTURERS

Dear Local Business Owner:

In an effort to provide local manufacturers with additional opportunities to promote their products and services and to increase their sales, Miami-Dade County’s Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), will assemble a database of local manufacturers. The collection of companies will include contact information for each, as well as a listing of each company’s specialty areas. It is the intent of the County to utilize this online registry to project future utilization of these materials and to provide local manufacturers with informational resources to assist in increasing their business activities.

To enroll as a “Resident Manufacturer” you must create an account and complete the automated Local Manufacturer Application Form.

CLICK HERE to begin creating your account. By signing up on the registry, businesses will be able to market themselves in future local business and manufacturer expositions.

Hay momentos en los que lo mejor es no hacer nada

Resulta curioso decir esto de mi parte cuando siempre he considerado que Acción es una palabra clave en la vida de un ser humano. Sigo estando convencido que esto es así, aunque también lo estoy en que, como en los cuestionarios de los exámenes, alguna de las opciones no necesariamente es la que hay que escoger.

Alguien, hablando de un ex presidente Colombiano, afirmaba que él se caracterizaba por haber sabido esperar y que se había entonces convencido de que había situaciones que debido a su complejidad bien valía la pena dilatarlas un poco. Quien por ejemplo desea correr tan solo para realizar un acto que más tarde le genere consecuencias adversas?. Prácticamente nadie, por supuesto.

Una decisión a las carreras no es bueno tomarla y por tanto el “consultarla con la almohada” para determinar hacerla al día siguiente me parece es una forma acertada de proceder. Y para que serviría cruzar a pie o a nado a un rio cuando este está crecido y con corrientes peligrosas? ; Para nada sería la obvia respuesta, significando con ello que el caso del rio es un buen ejemplo a utilizar también para circunstancias y eventos diferentes en los cuales lo mejor y conveniente será el saber esperar.
