As anyone who has succeeded in business knows, the key to success is in developing relationships. It is my pleasure to invite you to the 2010 NIB/NAEPB Opportunity Forum in Scottsdale, Arizona from June 13 to June 15 where there will be numerous opportunities to develop and nurture important relationships. A New Decade: Get Ready to Engage, the theme for this year's conference, was chosen by the planning committee to inspire us to envision new opportunities made possible by engaging at all levels. We encourage you to use this conference opportunity to engage with the NIB Team, Customers, Suppliers, your Colleagues and Presenters.
As you read the program, we hope you will read between the lines, because it is there that the opportunities lie.
Monday, June 14 begins the formal program with welcoming remarks from Tina Ballard and Kevin Lynch. Anyone who has been to the last two conferences knows how engaging these two can be!!
Following them you will have an opportunity to engage with two of our largest customers, Martha Johnson of GSA and Rear Admiral Mark F. Heinrich of the U.S. Navy Supply Corps.
Monday afternoon is reserved for SPEED NETWORKING sessions. The evening is open for dining with your existing, new or potential business partners.
Tuesday, June 15 our Supplier/Tradeshow Exhibit will offer opportunities to meet up with old friends and many new ones. DEMONSTRATE YOUR PRODUCTS - the new feature will afford suppliers an opportunity to introduce us to new products in a fun and entertaining way that will engage and inspire us.
Finally, the program offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with Tom Cross, a faculty member of the Darden School of Business. In response to your concerns about your ability to respond to government bids, we have invited Tom to deliver a high-level, step-by-step program on how to design a winning proposal for business development. More and more government agencies and private companies are seeking proposals from qualified organizations to provide products or services. This unique program will provide you with the competitive edge to develop winning proposals that get noticed and lead to contracts for new business.
Even our closing reception will be different with a casual barbecue that will be relaxing and engaging.
So let's start the Teen Years of the 21st century (2010-2019) by engaging through networking and learning.

This is a "Best Ball" format so if you lose your ball, not to worry, just take one from your new-found "friend" and keep on networking!
