It’s Your Future - Don’t Leave It To Chance
Join fellow lumber dealers and suppliers for the
MSLBMDA’s 2011 Fall Conference & 120th Anniversary Celebration at
the Ameristar Casino in Blackhawk, CO.

• Engage • Connect • Re-energize • Learn • Unwind

Industry Roundtables are always some of the most highly valued sessions by both retail dealers and suppliers alike. Join your industry peers for two hours of discussion on pertinent industry topics such as financing and credit, employee motivation, tax issues, technology, regulatory issues and more.

Recovery from the recession has been, and may continue to be, a slow and painful process for many. This opening two-hour session gives you time to network with other industry leaders and learn from each other what business and leadership practices are being put in place as the industry moves toward recovery from the recession.

Jack Foxworth, Owner and First Executive Vice President of Foxworth-Galbraith Lumber will help moderate this roundtable session.

Don’t Leave It To Chance: Straight Talk With Former U.S. Rep.
Bob Beauprez
We are honored to have former U.S. Congressman Bob Beauprez with us.  Bob is a Colorado native. He was raised on a third generation dairy farm near Lafayette, and spent 20 years in partnership with his parents and brother in that operation marketing their animals across the globe. Following the dairy career, Bob purchased and managed a community bank growing assets from 4 to over 400 million in 12 years. Additionally, he managed the family’s real estate development creating a 1500 residential unit golf course community.

In 2002, Bob was elected as the first representative from Colorado’s seventh congressional district, and re-elected in 2004. While in Congress, he served on the Ways & Means, Transportation, and Veterans Committees. He was the Republican nominee for Governor in 2006.

120th Anniversary Celebration and Banquet, additional business sessions and more.

Make sure you contact the Ameristar by September 7th by calling 720-946-4000 and identify the group as MSLBMDA 2011 Fall Conference to secure the special $139 rate.

The ComplyAbility system is the key to the delivery of training to your employees.  In addition, your employees will be tested and their performance tracked, thus guaranteeing compliance with a seemingly never ending list of federally mandated training requirements.
