| Glumac University. The Learning Never Stops. |
Once a month we all get a lesson from Glumac University - an hour-long seminar prepared by an employee for employees. All of our offices are linked together via the internet for a simultaneous session and discussion. Our collaborative approach to learning and sharing ensures that we all get a little smarter and wiser every month. We are always happy to repeat a presentation for a client.
