Welcome

The recent 18th annual convention and trade show in Orlando was another great event. Attendance, however, remained the same as last year, which was viewed as positive with the continuing instability in the economy.  

 

The networking sessions on training branch personnel and the FIANA University were very informative with the sharing of current distributors approach to the issue. Jon Youngberg from the Tom Duffy Co. led this portion of the networking sessions.  

 

The following session on how small businesses have and will be effective by the "Affordable Health Care Act, was also very informative and very engaged by the members in attendance.
