I attended the FPN meeting in San Diego a couple weeks ago along with PFOA Secretary/Treasurer Larry McIntosh. The meeting gave us an opportunity to meet with vendors and establish some key opportunities going forward that once again will help our organization help its members. We discovered several vendors haven’t done business with that could be beneficial.  Additionally I took advantage of the opportunity being on the west coast to visit some present and prospective members as well as hold a member meeting in California.  It should also be noted I attended the ECRM Generic conference in March.  This clearly raised our groups profile and has established some future opportunities.  It perhaps will yield one or two in the short term also. 

Our staff continues to contribute and gel. In addition to nearly daily contact with the staff, I have established a schedule for phone conference/web casts on a bi-weekly basis. This meeting continues to provide education opportunities and yield progress that can be clearly measured after each meeting. Next week I will be in St. Louis at our home office.

PFOA Staff Members Richard Macaluso, Sales Consultant, Jamie Wilbanks, Inside Sales & Service and I will represent PFOA this year at the AAP Conference & Expo April 28 – 30, 2011 in Nashville, TN AAP 2nd Annual Conference & Member Meeting we hope to see you there.
