Due
to the unfortunate circumstances in New Orleans, we have decided
to reschedule our Fall Meeting. We have been struggling to
find a facility to accommodate our group with the right mix
of meeting space and available rooms. We have not yet found
a suitable replacement and feel we have reached a point where
there is not enough time to select a location and then plan
an effective and enjoyable meeting for our members and allies.
We have decided to reschedule the meeting sometime in April
or May. This will give us enough time to visit the facilities
and to ensure that the meeting site meets everyone's criteria.
By moving the meeting to the spring it gives everyone more
time to plan, and have their schedules open for the meeting.
Even though the Fall Meeting has been canceled, we will still
be offering the Power-Packed training sessions and roundtables
at the Spring Meeting.
Residential 13 SEER and code changes.
Keys to residential revenue generation.
Managing for success with financial metrics.
Technology review for HVAC contractors.
The new era of retrofit, project and design/build sales.
Keys to commercial services agreement sales.
Becoming the indoor air quality leader in you area.
All attendees will receive a meeting workbook and a CD containing
audio, meeting notes and presentations, plus forms, templates
and spreadsheets to use in your business.
We are not quite sure of the exact dates and location for
the upcoming Spring Meeting. Places likeAtlantic City,VirginiaBeach,
Orlando andMiamiare all possibilities. If you have any suggestions
on these locations or if there is someplace you would love
to go for theEAISpring Meeting or if you have any suggestions
about dates in April or May you can let us know by emailing
us at sarahb@eainet.net. We hope to see you at the Excellence
