Past Speakers and Topics

Our monthly meetings are illuminating, inspirational, and great fun. Collectively, the information imparted by the various experts who have presided over our meetings since BMA-HV formed in 2004 has been the equivalent of a doctorate in both tried-and-true and hot new marketing techniques. And although it seems we have covered every aspect of marketing already, we find each month there is always something new to learn.
