NetworkASA 2010: THRIVE is scheduled for October 12-15, 2010 at the Marriott Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile. In recent weeks, ASA has been polling members, speaking to industry leaders and compiling feedback from previous meetings to create an agenda full of sessions to provide value to the attendees, presented by some of the top individuals in their respective fields. “This is shaping up to be one of the most impressive meeting agendas in recent years,” said Mike Adelizzi, ASA executive vice president. “From economics to politics to business success to the state of our industry, NetworkASA 2010 will cover all of these topics and more – an experience and education not available anywhere else in the PHCP and PVF industry.”

Inspirational Speaker, Distinguished American
Rudy Ruettiger is perhaps the most famous graduate of the University of Notre Dame. As fans cheered “RU-DY, RU-DY”, he sacked the quarterback in the only play in the only game of his college football career. He is the only player in the school’s history to be carried off the field on his teammates’ shoulders. Today, Rudy reaches audiences with a unique, passionate, and heartfelt style of communicating, portraying the human spirit.
