Greetings!

Trade show season is upon us and we are heading to Orlando for the IAAPA show next week.  I ALWAYS look forward to meeting up with our members and vendor friends at the shows we attend. 

Anyway, with all of our new programs in various stages of development we decided not to take a booth this year.  Come the first of the year you will see a whole new array of programs designed to help you build your business.  Get a sneak peek below and stay tuned for exciting announcements.

So, even though we won't have a booth this year, we will be at the show to see our friends and all of the new products being debuted.  If you are going to the show be sure to visit the booths listed below and let them know you are affiliated with the EPA. These companies offer quality products/services and we have excellent relationships with them.  If you are still thinking about going and have not purchased your tickets you will find a discount code in the "Upcoming Trade Shows" article below.

I hope to see you in Orlando.


Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!


Kim
