NAHAD 2016 under way in Colorado

The 2016 NAHAD Annual Meeting and Convention got underway yesterday at the beautiful Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, CO.  It it the 32nd annual event and it started with the Opening Session presided over by outgoing president, Jim Reilly.


Congratulations to Jim on an excellent term as president of the Association.  He is succeeded by Skip Bruce who was introduced on Sunday as the incoming President.


The Association for Hose and Accessories Distribution hosts hundreds of delegates every year consisting of distributors, manufacturers, associates, and affiliates.  The event returns to the Broadmoor 10 years since the last meeting at this unique resort.


The first full day of activities at the annual convention includes sessions of the UID, University in a Day with three concurrent sessions including Inside Sales, Know More! Relationships, and Improving the Bottom Line.  Those were the morning sessions.  In the afternoon, NAHAD featured Value Added Selling, Know More! Relationships - part 2, and The Real Profit Drivers.

The evening is highlighted with Manufacturer and Associate Hospitality Suites offering networking opportunities to everyone.  For more information about NAHAD, visit their website at www.nahad.org
