Dear Friend,
It’s that time of year again…the leaves are changing color, there is a crispness in the air, so, it MUST be time
to start thinking about MRWA’s Annual Technical Conference and Tradeshow! Join us as we make the return
trip to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, starting on Tuesday, December 4th through the 6th.
Appearing as our Keynote speaker at Tuesday’s dinner session is Terri Swanson, HR consultant. This
interactive dinner session will focus on the skills you need to retain staff members and address the
overwhelming task of replacing retiring long term staff members. Terri has a wealth of knowledge wrapped
in boundless energy, enthusiasm and sense of humor. Bring your HR questions as there isn’t any issue that
Terri can’t conquer.
Immediately following the dinner session with Terri, we will be hosting our second year of Trivia Night at
Timber Kitchen and Bar (located within the Marriott). Stop by for a wicked good time!
Our Staff has worked hard to develop a wide array of relevant and thought-provoking training sessions. We
have secured an elite class of speakers ready to dazzle you with their knowledge and experience. With over
30 concurrent sessions, we know that there will be something (in addition to the chocolate covered bacon)
to keep you interested all day long.
The tradeshow keeps growing! We invite you to visit our biggest display of exhibitors to date. We hope
you enjoy learning about the latest technologies, products, and services our industry has to offer. You
might just win a prize while there.
Don’t forget the party on Wednesday night! We will be helping EJ Prescott celebrate our industry’s
professionals with the Chad Porter Band back at Timber Kitchen and Bar. After we tore the place down last
year, we weren’t sure they would let us back, but Chad and his band are that good. Join us from 6-9pm;
enjoy the food, drinks and merriment.
