Team TAG Management to Attend Kick Off Conference in Atlanta, Georgia

A handful of TAG's management team will be attending the annual kick off conference at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, Georgia next week February 22 - 24 for networking, leadership workshops, awards, and bonuses.

Every year TAG's management team looks forward to attending the annual kick off conference.  This year's
meeting will take place at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta from February 22 - 24, 2013.

The weekend conference brings together the best and brightest leaders in our business to learn, network,
and share goals.  Our administrators are looking forward to the many breakout workshops where they will
interact with top recruiters.  Our managers are especially looking forward to the bonuses and awards to be
handed out to last year's top performers.

In addition to the weekend activities, newly promoted Assistant Manager, Sam Chen will be attending a
week long of intensive training prior to the conference with other assistant mangers from around the
country.  The training will focus on financial management, recruiting tips, and many more workshops on
how to run a successful office.  The assistant mangers will be learning from the top leaders from all over
the country.  Last year, Assistant Manger, Mirza Ulasoglu, thought that the week long training was
extremely informative and a great way to build relationships and network.
The team can't wait to go to Atlanta, Georgia next week to learn and grow!
