EXECUTIVE SALES PLANNING SESSIONS ®<br />
RETURN<br />
JUNE 21-23 IN MINNEAPOLIS by Amy Nijjar<br />
Executive Sales Planning Sessions ®<br />
Save the date now for one of the best business<br />
meetings of the year. NFDA’s popular Executive Sales<br />
Planning Sessions® will take place June 21-23, <strong>2022</strong>,<br />
at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Minneapolis Downtown.<br />
During the Executive Sales Planning Sessions<br />
(ESPS®), you’ll schedule private, one-on-one business<br />
meetings with the partners who are most important to<br />
your business strategy. It’s not as rushed as speeddating,<br />
but the principles are similar, allowing you to<br />
meet with several people in 1.5 days, without having to<br />
travel to multiple destinations.<br />
How ESPS® Works<br />
¤ NFDA Associate and Service Provider members<br />
book rooms at the Embassy Suites in order to host<br />
private appointments. Only NFDA members are eligible<br />
to be ESPS® hosts.<br />
¤ Registered meeting attendees book appointments<br />
in advance with the hosts of their choice by using our<br />
new online scheduling tool.<br />
¤ The schedule can accommodate up to thirteen<br />
25-minute appointments on Wednesday, June 22 and<br />
seven 25-minute appointments on Thursday, June 23.<br />
¤ Designed to facilitate executive-level interchange<br />
between trading partners, ESPS® gives you the greatest<br />
amount of visibility and provides scheduling flexibility<br />
with the most companies in a single location.<br />
Education<br />
The NFDA <strong>2022</strong> Annual Meeting also will feature<br />
compelling education programs.<br />

NFDA Awards Scholarship for Fastener<br />
Training Week<br />
The National Fastener Distributors Association<br />
(NFDA) recently awarded a scholarship for Fastener<br />
Training Week, an advanced fastener technical training<br />
program produced by the Fastener Training Institute,<br />
to Teja Jampani, a quality engineer for Specialty Bolt<br />
& Screw. The scholarship was sponsored by Brighton<br />
Best International.<br />
Scholarship applicants were evaluated based on<br />
the recommendations from their employers, personal<br />
achievements, work experience, and an essay.<br />
Identifying information was redacted, so that the team<br />
evaluating the applications did not know the names or<br />
employers of those applying.<br />
The next deadline to apply for an NFDA Fastener<br />
Training Week scholarship is June 1. The application<br />
can be found at https://www.nfda-fastener.org/<br />
