This year’s learning opportunities encompass a broad cross-section of subjects with high quality, experienced presenters.  We are once again offering the “Performance Track” educational package, which offers MBI members significant discounts / incentives to send multiple employees to a wide variety of programs.

This year’s program is well worth an investment of your time and resources.  Please plan to attend and participate, along with others in your company to learn and have fun, while meeting some new people or catching up with old friends.
