UPA Online: We Deliver High Performance

Meetings are vital for management and communication. Properly run meetings save time, increase motivation, productivity and solve problems. They also create new ideas and initiatives. Meetings achieve "buy in".

UPA feels that all forms of communication are vital, but we have a high degree of favoritism for the face to face meetings. The enthusiasm and effectiveness of the story can only be attained through this format. It is our members and manufacturer partners who continue to enjoy the opportunity to develop strong, long term relationships at each UPA function.

UPA held 14 meetings in 2006 with groups of distributors and manufacturers ranging from 10 to 25 companies at a time. Our focused meeting approach has accomplished significant substantive benefits for all involved. UPA intends to continue our smaller, focused meeting approach combined with the National Meeting concept for years to come.

The introduction of new programs, the exchange of ideas between non competing members and the development of stronger relationships have made UPA stronger with each consecutive gathering.
