To ensure that we do what we can to help you comply with the Partnership Agreement requiring participation in the Biz-Metrics survey, we are extending the March 30 deadline by one week! The new deadline to enter all your financial data is Monday, April 9, 2018. I hope that you will consider this effort an investment in the betterment of your agency and in the greater impact UBA can have on behalf of the Partnership.

UBA Partners certainly have experienced their own March Madness this past month. During the first week of March, UBA opened the new Biz-Metrics survey platform, followed shortly by the launch of the UBA Communities, and the month closed with the opening of the new UBA Health Plan Survey, powered by Unifi. We realize that all these exciting and important programs have resulted in a time commitment that you may not have planned for.

Because we've asked you to engage with so many recent initiatives, we want to make sure that one of the most important annual activities does not suffer. Biz-Metrics, powered by Code SixFour, is one of the few financial benchmarking tools that help you to spot trends in revenue diversification, expenses, profit and growth perspectives, and perpetuation. This information helps you evaluate your business and improve your bottom line so that you can make the right strategic business decisions for the future.

I want to thank everyone in advance for giving their time at this very busy time of year to an initiative that is critical to the collaborative efforts of UBA. I look forward to seeing everyone at the UBA Spring Meeting & Expo!

Sincerely,

Peter Weber, M.S., CAE
UBA President
