VRMA 2013 Regional Seminars

Ask An Expert Session at the 2013 Regional Seminars

The Ask An Expert session gives attendees the opportunity to ask questions and interact with peer experts in small-group discussions. This is your chance to delve deeper with other managers into topics ranging from weddings, maintenance, and blogging. A little of everything for everyone!

This session was a huge hit among event attendees in 2012, but we need your help to make it successful!

The 2013 Conference Planning Committee is looking for Experts to lead these discussions. The Expert should be knowledgeable in the subject area and be able to answer questions from table participants. The Expert does not need to prepare a presentation to present in front of an audience.

The topics that the committee have suggested are:

• Blogging
• Contract Vendors vs. In House Employees
