Exciting Outlook for 2012

article preview

This past year, we celebrated our most successful Outlook Leadership conference. We proudly featured great leaders representing the wide spectrum of what makes this country so great.

We welcomed Herman Cain, who shared the story of his compelling childhood and the importance of having strong parental figures. We delved into the nation’s economics at the governmental level with Erskine Bowles, Arianna Huffington and Richard Karlgaard. And we got a closer look at the state of our industry thanks to past NACS president Jeff Miller.

As compelling and insightful as 2011’s conference was, we are equally—if not more—excited about 2012.
