During the second half of 2017 Fred Kline was selected to participate in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program held at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Initiated by Goldman Sachs in 2009, the aim of the program is to provide 10,000 small businesses with education in business and management and to provide assistance to capital and business support services. The program consisted of three months of intensive classroom and independent study and collaborative efforts with other participants. Fred graduated from this program in November 2017.

Success can be defined in many different ways. For some it is the security of a retirement plan. For others it is the joy of building up a business. For many it is having time to spend with family. Sometimes, it is a combination of these and more. My definition of success at Kline & Co. and in life is understanding what others need and helping them succeed.
