The Summerland Group, Inc. is a small, innovative, and fiercely entrepreneurial engineering company. We try to do our small part to help make the world a better place.
We feel that that logic and common sense should be the primary objective of our manufactured products. We are determined to keep manufacturing costs low without sacrificing quality, so that as many people as possible can be offered the opportunity to benefit from those products . Our customers seem to think this is a good idea, too.
Summerland designs and engineers practical, user-friendly, and handicapped-accessible products. Products you can depend on. We're also long-standing advocates of hiring the handicapped, (one earlier project gave us the opportunity to draw 70% of the project's workforce from these ranks).
Our group has taken great pleasure in having had the opportunity to sponsor outings and activities for Special Olympics contestants over the years. We've found that these are special people in every sense of the word.
Summerland is currently engaged in feasibility studies for introduction of yet another new product, one which directly involves safety for children and the elderly.
Summerland hosts and sponsors web sites such as Bedtime-Story, designed to encourage literary and artistic creativity. We mentor, and provide editing as well as encouragement, to talented authors and artists whose works will undoubtedly influence young minds. We support and encourage a strong parent-child relationship. We select works for publication that are judged to be as entertaining for the adult as they are for the child, with the intent of fostering a positive shared experience that will remain in the child's memory for years to come.
| Besides, we like to read the stories ourselves |
| Summerland also hosts and sponsors The Board of Directors, a web-site designed to provide an exclusive and appropriately dignified venue for corporate leaders to make their talents and their availability known. It represents an attractive convenience for highly qualified senior executives who are interested in perusing new professional challenges. |

It also serves a little deeper purpose.
It's widely recognized that from the shop floor to the executive office, job separation can be a traumatic experience. When the corporate lifeline is cut without warning, a family's entire financial security can be threatened. The senior executive is not immune from the effects of job separation, instead, the difficulties created can actually become more pronounced, since there are clearly a lesser number of positions available for leaders than there are for followers. As time passes, particularly in a tight job-market, even the most prudent of families can see their life's savings eroded. Family homes often have to be sold, children can be forced to withdraw from college, their promising futures derailed. Long-standing relationships can become strained. The emotional toll on a family unit can become staggering.
Executive employment is to a large extent, a matter of networking, but traditional headhunter fees can be steep, a requirement that in some cases, can further jeapordize a family's financial stability.
The Board of Directors site functions as a professional courtesy. No employment fee is charged.
What the heck. Even the boss needs a break once in awhile. Our philosophy is; You see a need,
