Our 5th annual conference was a large success!
Congratulations to the newly elected Board of Directors:
Paul Tamaroff – President
Eric Echols- Vice President
Elizabeth Smith- Treasurer
Deb Duchon – Secretary
Muhsin Hassan – Director
Betsy Kidd – Director
Robin Martinelli – Director
Curvin Self – Director
We had close to 100 process servers in attendance, 2 special guests from NAPPS, 4 vendor/sponsors a delicious barbeque lunch and great marketing and fellowship with everyone.
There is much for the new board to take care of in the next year. Watch for communications about how you will be able to help with committees and making the association stronger and better.
Due to the amount of material/topics to discuss at the annual meeting of the board of directors, the meeting will start at 8 a.m. on Saturday March 18, 2017 (instead of 9 a.m. as previously scheduled). The Continuing Education portion of the day will still begin at 11 a.m. and conclude at 5 p.m. (includes catered lunch).
Below is the rest of the information about the conference that has already been posted on the “Events” page
Join us in Decatur, GA on Saturday March 18, 2017 for our annual conference, followed by our Continuing Education Seminar.
Prior to the Continuing Education portion of the day, the annual conference / board meeting (which includes the election for all board positions) will begin at 8 a.m. (this is an updated time due to many topics to cover) and will conclude at 11 a.m. At 11 a.m., the Continuing Education Seminar will begin.
Once the new board is in place, committees will be established to further the work for your association – this is where every member can be involved.
For those attending the Continuing Education Seminar, Fox Bros. BBQ will be catering our lunch again this year.
The conference is a great time for you to network with other servers from across the state as well as visit vendors that will be set up.
Speakers to include:
Eric Vennes – NAPPS Director – “How you will be Affected by Compliance Standardization Requirements.”
Paul Tamaroff – GAPPS Director – Case law updates pertaining to Service of Process in Georgia
Process Server Roundtable – We will open up the floor to process server questions/comments pertaining to issues that come up when you’re in the field – one topic that has been requested for discussion is: “how to deal with trespass issues”.
The conference is still only $99!
