Convention Coordinators Judy Zickert and Michelle Stello with speakers at our spring convention. This was Judy and Michelle's first convention. They did a fantastic job! Thanks, ladies.
Worth Business Equipment attended the convention. They were available throughout Friday and Saturday for attendees to drop off their machines in need of cleaning and/or repair. The machines were cleaned, repaired, and returned, eliminating the need for shipping costs, the cost of a loaner, and periods of time without your machine. Many reporters took advantage of this great service. They will again be present at our fall convention in Waukesha.
