Despite several people not being able to attend, the upva meeting is still a go! It will probably be an abbreviated meeting but it will be great nonetheless.
We”ll be discussing sales and package building methods that work and how to be profitable on the current economic times.

If those attending could bring samples of some packages they offer, that would be great!

We’ll also have a few stellar peer reviews from some of our very talanted members.
I’m excited to see all those that can make it tonight!!
