What the Professionals are Saying
“Just a quick note of thanks to express my gratitude for being included in this year’s Canadian FAM. I had an absolutely amazing time and the event was so well run and organized. The first thing I did this morning when I got to my office was tell our president how beautiful Scottsdale was and that I would love to bring our group next year. I don’t think I’ll have any trouble convincing him to let me have my way!”
