Page 2 - MRN Educational Summit 2018

Welcome!

It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to the 2018 Military Reunion Network
Educational Summit. I am thrilled to have you with us!

Education has been our company cornerstone since the beginning back in 1991. It is an emphasis I
am proud to continue. Several years ago, it became clear that we needed an event to which the
MRN community could come together with industry professionals for in-depth discussions on
current issues and trends. The speakers have been personally selected for their scope of knowledge
and expertise in their field. Joan Eisenstodt, Crystal Washington, and Michelle Lenz have returned
at the request of previous year attendees. To our reunion planners, if you are traveling with a
spouse or guest, I encourage you to attend different sessions in an effort to capture as much
information as possible.

Please take a moment to thank our sponsors! Their enthusiasm, knowledge and
appreciation of this market is without question and is demonstrated by their support of the MRN
Educational Summit.
