It's almost the new year and we are planning some great BAPVA meetings, we start things off with a special early January meeting!

We welcome back Alan Berg, of AlanBerg.com. Alan will be speaking on Sales specific to the Videography industry. His talk is titled "Fade to GREEN! How videographers can close more sales, today". This will be a meeting you won't want to miss, so cancel those after-the-holiday vacation plans and make this meeting. It will be worth every penny!

We are also finalizing plans for the annual BAPVA Kick Off dinner. We will be sending out a special evite to member's only.  So look for that, as we do need you to RSVP.
