Special Edition on Succession Planning: Sustaining Scandic Springs for the Next Generation By Gary McCoy Managing Editor
I
t was nearly 10 years ago that Springs published a Springmaker Spotlight on Hale Foote and Scandic Springs (“Powered by the Sun,” Fall 2010) that focused on the company’s sustainability efforts as it had recently installed a new solar roof. The story started off by defining sustainability as “the capacity to endure.” In this issue of Springmaker Spotlight we revisit the subject of sustainability in a different way, as Scandic is in the early stages of a succession plan. Company president Hale Foote is beginning the process of passing the business to his oldest daughter, Andrea. There was a time when Foote was uncertain whether the business would endure to the third generation.
