Why the AHVRP 2010 Annual Conference?
Benefits of Employee Engagement
Pre-Conference Justification Documents:
Prior to the conference, you are likely to have to convince your manager(s) to invest their professional develop funds in your attendance at the conference. The cost of attendance consists of the conference registration fee, travel costs and time-away-from-work costs. The total cost is considerable, so most managers want some serious justification for employees attending a conference. We have located several resources, in the form of documents that you can use in your efforts.
