REACH founder Ryan Sanders will be a panelist at an upcoming business seminar hosted by the Greater Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club. The first ever Breakfast of Champions chamber event will take place September 10 at 8 a.m. at the Westin DFW North Hotel at 4545 W. John Carpenter Freeway in Irving.
Ryan will be featured in a breakout session called Marketing Your Business for Success along with corporate identity artist David Fiegenschue and online marketing guru Wael Salama. The breakout is an encore of the same panel featured at the April 2009 Coffee Break networking event. The marketing session is one of nine breakouts at the event designed to help small business owners improve their companies.
REACH was also involved in planning the event and designed invitations and some of the table decor. REACH will also provide video services allowing the chamber to post discussions online after the event for those who take part.
The event will feature a keynote address by Mary Scott Nabers, former Texas Railroad Commisisoner and CEO of Strategic Partners, Inc. who will speak on “Success In Selling to the Trillion Dollar Government Marketplace”
