Maybe you should be reading BizCentral.org . That's the opinion offered by Mark Tapscott, editorial page editor of The Washington Examiner .
After commenting about the origin of the word "insourcing," Tapscott admonishes:
By the way, if you aren't checking BizCentral.org regularly, you should be, as it brings together a dozen or so of the top minds from across the field of business-related associations that follow policy debates and developments in Washington.
Obviously, we're both flattered and prone to agree: visit BizCentral.org .
