Survey
CAM’s 2010 Annual Conference was our highest-rated conference ever. A few of the speakers had comments that fit exceedingly well with members’ expectations.
Presentations on strategy development, the echo generation and the economy gave attendees concepts that could be taken back to the office and used in planning and hiring.
The presentation from the Toronto Police Service gave members a glimmer of hope that things are being done to eliminate rogue movers and improve the reputation of our industry.
Posted as a PDF is a questionnaire that will help us to plan the next conference. Please take a minute to complete it and return it to us before January 7, 2011.
