Companies can only be as great as the people they have.
And to attract smart, talented, passionate, innovative people, Maine and Portland have certain opportunities and certain challenges, said Strunk, in an article published in the EDC Annual Report. The lifestyle and the beauty of Maine to a certain population is a major bonus for employers here.
