Greetings, BAPVA members guests, and celebrities!

This month we have our first Members Exhibition of the year. For those that have attended an Exhibition before, you know they are very informative (ie. lots of feedback) for the person submitting the piece as well as for all of the viewers in the room.
In addition, we will have a speaker that will provide some important financial advice, on how to survive and potentially grow your business in this challenging economic environment.

As always, we will also have our Best Practices Sharing segment and time to network and socialize within our group. So please join us for an enjoyable and informative evening. We will also be live broadcasting this event, which can be accessed by paid members through the forums!


First Program: Skills Building- Advice for Surviving and Growing in the Current Economic Environment

It's no news that times are tough. Sales are off and profits are squeezed. While there is no easy solution, our guest speaker, Sandra Wales, will provide some key financial advice for evaluating your current business situation, tuning-up your financial practices, and taking advantage of tools and benefits that are available to us. Her objective is to help us get through the next year by insuring the financial base of our businesses are as strong as they can be.

Here is a summary of the topics to be presented:

- How to improve cash flow and stabilize your business
- Restructure your debt and improve your financial picture
- Understand how your financial business runs
- Develop business strategies and a plan that works
- Marketing strategies in a down economy
- Techniques for building a business that reduces taxes and pays for your retirement.


Second Program: Members Exhibition

- Maximum length of each is 4 minutes
- DVD is the accepted format
- 3 judges will evaluate and provide feedback on each piece

We look forward to seeing you all there!
