NASBP September Regional Meetings–Save the dates for 2014 Meetings

The 2013 Regional Meetings were a huge success this September with all three meetings setting attendance records, starting with the Regions 8, 9, 10 & 11 Meeting at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island, Florida, next was the Regions 1, 2, 3 Meeting at the Park Hyatt Aviara outside of San Diego, California, and wrapping up the meetings in the Big Easy was the Regions 4, 5, 6 & 7 Meeting at the Ritz Carlton New Orleans.
