Chapter Chats

Mesa Phoenix

Do you like the car? Paula Goldsmith (far r) invited Adrian Bradley (far l), a local representative of Sandals, to show off this "wrapped" Sandals vehicle at her group's Sept. 2 meeting. Agents who produce enough sales with the resort company can earn their own Sandals vehicles!

Columbus and Atlanta

Patricia Bannister -- OSSN's Southeastern Regional Manager -- took a recent road trip from her home base in Senatobia, Miss., to Cullman, Ala., on her way to Georgia for several OSSN chapter meetings. Amy Parker (the director of the OSSN Columbus [Ga.] Chapter) held a meeting in Cullman on Aug. 19. Later, an agent who attended this meeting emailed Patricia saying, "At your meeting, I went from being discouraged in the last two weeks to raring to go."

On Aug. 21, Patricia and Amy led a meeting in Columbus, where they shared the stage with Kirsten Sanchez, the local business development manager for Carnival Cruise Lines.

The next day, they traveled to Atlanta, where Trudie Robinson (the director of the OSSN Atlanta Chapter) gathered 23 agents for a great barbecue session. Patricia showed the agents how to use the OSSN Web site.
