Why You Should Attend 

This Forum focuses on how to align activities with people in order to achieve bottom-line goals, while identifying key leadership skills that lead to increased motivation and productivity in the sales and service environment. From timely topics to relevant speakers, vendor evaluations to peer interaction, this Forum will give you the guidance you need.

The peer-to-peer discussions are one of the most productive parts of WIB’s programs. I find these sessions to be invaluable.

Mike Popovich, SVP - Region Manager
