My name is Richard D. Smith and I am President

& Managing Principal at SMITH-TRG a business

performance improvement and value creation

consulting firm.

Since February 2008 I have also spearheaded

the U.S. Road to Recovery Project - a private

sector initiative to help others nation-wide create

sustainable jobs across industries, sectors,

segments and product lines.

In October, 2009 I authored and published the

U.S. Jobs Creation Plan, 2 million net new jobs

for American citizens in 12 months. Presentation

available to view at www.weSRCH.com under

author Richard Smith.

Today’s presentation reflects lessons learned

and outlines why and how today’s America can

create and build sustainable U.S. job growth &

wealth creation machines for the 21st Century.Richard D. Smith, CEO
