Academy 2012

July 19-21, 2012

Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa

Tucson, Arizona

How often have you been to a conference, listened to great speakers, been inspired to make major changes back at the office, and then…once you get home…you have no idea how to get started?  At this year’s Academy we’ve brought the great speakers on board to inspire you to make change…but rather than tell you what to do, they are going to tell you how it can be done.  And on top of that, you’ll get the same relationship-building, idea-sharing, fun-having experience that is the Academy.
