Wi-Fi and Running Water at KOA Kampgrounds: Jim Rogers 080815

http://www.nesa.org/rogers.html Jim Rogers started at KOA 34 years ago as a trainee and climbed to the top as Chairman and CEO. Each day, he says, he loves his work so much that he "runs to this job." Camping lets you explore little known out-of-the-way places, meander down scenic roads and discover natural wonders you never knew existed. It opens up a whole new world you wouldn’t be able to visit any other way. Outdoor recreation is an economic powerhouse in the United States. In Nevada we can attribute $14.9 billion dollars in consumer spending: 147,600 in direct Nevada jobs which equates to $4.8 billion dollars in wages and salaries and about $1 billion dollars in state and local tax revenue. In January 2013, Jim Rogers was featured in an episode of the award-winning CBS reality show “Undercover Boss.” The one-hour episode featured Jim going “undercover” on four different KOA properties. He interacted with employees and KOA owners using the fictional persona of Tim Bickford, an out-of-work accountant from San Francisco who was competing for an investor’s support of his new campground business. www.CheriHillShow.com www.SageIntl.com www.CBEnv.com
