ABI'S WINTER LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
|
|
Join ABI in sunny Southern California for the Annual Winter Leadership Conference! The Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., is the setting for this year's annual program, which features topics designed for consumer and business practitioners, as well as financial advisors. As always, the conference provides numerous social and fun events where you can network and renew friendships with colleagues from around the nation and overseas.
Members who pledge or contribute at or above the Sustaining Member level ($2,000 and up) will be recognized at the final night dinner (Winter Soirée). There will also be an Endowment dessert reception following the Soirée, sponsored by Omni Management Group, Inc. The reception is an invitation-only event and will include new donors at the Sustaining Member level and up.
