Jeff Gau: My Leadership Perspective

This job requires no leadership skills to succeed and advance – said no boss ever! Almost every job in every industry requires some degree of leadership skills. And in the world of advertising and marketing where we are trying to attract new clients or customers, retain the best talent, and stay ahead of the curve to be the most effective and efficient we can be – this definitely holds true.

Jeff Gau, CEO for Marco, is a local leadership powerhouse you won’t want to miss hearing from. Jeff has been with Marco for 33 years and has been CEO since 2006. Since taking the helm at Marco, Jeff has led the company through aggressive growth and opportunities. He has transformed what started as a small typewriter dealer in 1973 into a rapidly growing technology company that serves over 32,000 customers throughout the Midwest and nationally. Jeff believes in high performance, sustaining a fun workplace, and keeping score. He will share how he defines leadership and his philosophies for leading a successful organization.

Third Annual Toys for Tots

Every Child Deserves a Little Christmas

The holidays are nearly here, and Toys for Tots is in full swing. For almost seven decades, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve has been making Christmas wishes come true for needy children across the United States.

Last year, approximately 4,000 children in and around the St. Cloud community received toys through Toys for Tots. This year, the Marines are anticipating the need to be even greater, which is why we are asking for your help.

At the December 12th luncheon, featuring Jeff Gau, AAF Central Minnesota will be collecting donations on behalf of Toys for Tots. Just look for the large white box when you check-in. We’ll be accepting everything from new, unwrapped toys, to books, school supplies, hats, mittens as well as cash and gift cards for kids 16 and younger.

The St. Cloud Toys for Tots team works very hard to make Toys for Tots a success, but they could never do it without the generous support of people like you. As a thank you, your donation will qualify you for the a drawing to be held at the conclusion of the luncheon.

If you can’t make it to the December luncheon but wish donate, you can click here to visit the official Toys for Tots website to make your donation.

Thank you in advance for your support—and don’t forget; it’s for the kids!
