2023 Spring Conference Wrap-Up
Thank you all for attending our Spring conference! It was wonderful to have so many members join us on the Florida coast.
On Monday afternoon, Bill Graham showed attendees how to use likeability skills to help improve relationships and communication skills by using your face, body and voice as tools. Attendees paired up to tell personal stories of impact to each other in order to get that "wow" factor and learn important details of story-telling others will remember in creating that personal connection.
On Tuesday morning, Don Rheem, Founder and CEO of E3 Solutions, explained the science that triggers exemplary workplace behavior at a neurological level in order to help attendees understand how to create a thriving workplace culture and what improves employee performance, retention and morale.
We also recognized Scott Scarpato for his service to MLA, as his term as President concluded this April. The MLA Executive Committee thanked Scott for his distinguished leadership and commitment to the association and industry. This was his third time serving as MLA President which shows his true dedication to the association and outstanding leadership and knowledge. Thank you Scott! MLA appreciates you!
Tuesday evening, MLA attendees enjoyed a relaxing off-site boat cruise around the Sarasota waterways and Gulf of Mexico with a spectacular evening sunset.
Thank you to Alliance Laundry Systems, ESD and
KioSoft Technologies for sponsoring this event!
