What attendees said about the January 2011 meeting...

"Thank you again for the class today. It was very informative and I walked away with an elevator speech and introduction! Would you mind me telling my manager how much I enjoyed your class and possibly passing it on to other Manager’s in the Vancouver area in the Umpqua stores? I think it’s a great class and would recommend it to all the other Universal Associates who are in networking or are thinking about it. I think it’s a great tool to have the information you shared with us!" ~Lisa Schoorl, www.UmpquaBank.com
