Wow, incredible, amazing!  I just can't seem to find the words for this event. Not only did we have our Round Table at Welcome Home Furniture Rental, but we had a guest appearance from our own Stage it Forward founder, Craig Schiller.

What a wonderful, passionate, leader for our industry. I don't know about all the rest of you that have had the honor of meeting Craig, but... I was just hanging on every word.  I really had to keep track of the time... because I just wanted to listen.  Craig, I know I can speak for the others, your presence was so appreciated and so inspiring to us.

It was so enlightening to be with such a professional group.  The talents of all superseded any training or certification.  It was a great meeting of the minds for a common goal.  I was humbled by their presence.

Thank you Shell for talking about the importance of RESA for our industry.  Your vision and efforts were greatly appreciated too.

These Round Tables are the stepping stones of strength in our Industry. We are so much more than just you and I.  It doesn't really matter in the scheme of things, what hat we wear.  Though our training, concerns, trials and tribulations may be different... we are in the same Staging boat.  We all want the same thing.  We want to help, we want to educate, we want to have high standards, and we want to be successful.... we need to be a professional industry!

Thank you to all of these attendees for your contributions and your wealth of information.  You are the future!
