Plus…RESPRO® Idea Sharing Roundtables
In a RESPRO® format that drew favorable reviews at RESPRO®’s 2005 Annual Conference, you’ll be able to join your colleagues and expert discussion leaders in one of three rooms filled with several roundtables of 10 or less to talk informally and off-the-record about your specific one-stop shopping strategies, regulatory compliance issues, and developing state regulatory trends affecting affiliated businesses. No presentations, just one-on-one interaction! Each idea sharing roundtable is one hour, with results presented to the entire room.
New! For RESPRO® Members Only…
The Role of Legitimate Affiliated Businesses in Today’s Regulatory Environment
In the midst of increased federal and state regulatory scrutiny of affiliated businesses, what should RESPRO® and legitimate affiliated businesses be doing to educate public policymakers and the public about the potential consumer benefits of the affiliated business model? Jim DeLizia of DeLizia Consulting, Inc., who facilitated RESPRO®’s Fall 2005 RESPA Reform Roundtable in San Diego, will moderate an interactive roundtable discussion among RESPRO® members across industry lines on this challenge. The audience will be able to ask questions and offer views afterwards.
