ATLANTA – September 14, 2009 – Cadence Group ®, an information and records management firm based in Atlanta, Georgia, is pleased to announce its completion of the 12-month 2008-2009 Georgia Mentor Protégé Connection. On September 10, 2009, the 29 members of the fifth Mentor Protégé Connection class graduated in ceremonies at the Atlanta History Center.

“Fostering relationships between the mentors and protégés helps spark learning in both directions,” said Ken Stewart, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD). “In this economic environment, businesses small and large reap the benefits from the Mentor Protégé Connection.”

Georgia ‘s Mentor Protégé Connection, formerly the Governor’s Mentor Protégé Program, matches successful companies such as Georgia-Pacific, Coca-Cola and United Parcel Service with smaller, growing Georgia-based businesses to increase the odds for success. Each class commits to a 12-month cycle that includes one-on-one mentoring sessions, specialized training seminars, networking events and mandatory progress reporting sessions.

Twenty-six mentor companies teamed with protégé businesses to incorporate best practices into areas such as accounting & finance, human resources, strategic planning, marketing, Web site development, operating efficiencies and organizational planning issues. Hardin Construction Company, a leading general contractor and construction manager in the United States , was Cadence Group’s mentor.

Cadence Group reported the following accomplishments:

“Working with Hardin Construction Company has given us insight and new ideas for improving our branding and messaging, enhancing our strategic planning process and improving our project tracking,” stated Cadence Group CEO and president, Tina Baker. “We expect these enhancements to result in greater visibility, operating efficiencies and revenue growth in 2010 and beyond.”
