Yes, we have been considering this for many years now. As each of you know, those red jackets are famous the world over. We are repeatedly asked at different events where this is happening, how do I do this, where do I register, where do I get help, when is this event, and much, much more. Since most think we are the ambassadors of trade events, help with locating companies, etc., the next progression would be for us to REALLY HELP . If your state association is looking for help, LOOK NO FARTHER ! GetAssociationHelp.com is getting ready to launch the way for you to let go of some of that stress. Leave it to us. The website is in progress as of this writing. If you want more information, please give us a call ~ or tell your state association leaders, and ask them to call 850-547-0102.
