TMEPA Member Systems Board of Directors Training

This is a great opportunity for member systems to offer a very informative training session to their own board of directors. It's an annual event and won't happen again till the summer of 2016.

Enrollment for the upcoming training session scheduled for October 5, 2016 for TMEPA Members Systems' Board of Directors has exceeded our expectations. We currently have 38 confirmed attendees with another 3-5 waiting a final commitment. Since our training room will only seat 30 attendees comfortably, the training session has been moved to the Hilton Suites Brentwood, Overlook Blvd. Brentwood, TN. But that also means we can accept more attendees so it's not too late to make your plans.

We are excited to again offer Board Member Training for the benefit of TMEPA member systems. This one-day course has been highly accepted and eagerly anticipated each year. It's not open to just your Board members though -- General Managers and Senior Staff have also found it valuable. We only offer the course once each year, so we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. The course fee is $125 per person and includes lunch. You should have received the information by now but if not, give us a call and we'll get it to you immediately. Lunch is provided and TMEPA will provide a Certification of Completion to each attendee.

You'll hear exciting presentations by:
