Hosting a Seminar

 

Hosting a Seminar is easy, even for busy moms!  Just pick your date and send me an email. Confirmation is a received down payment and if flying, payment for the flight.  Next, you will need to advertise and collect registration fees from your participants.  Finally, you just need to make sure your room and food are set and you're ready to go!

 
Each Seminar Includes:
 
> Workbooks for each participant
> Power point presentations
> Large and small group discussions
> Personal workbook time
> Fellowship, encouragement and
                             Lots of Fun
  
"Hosting a Smart Martha Seminar was very easy.  Tami was very organized (as expected) and very professional.  It was easy to set up everything via email, and Tami was very responsive and helpful with planning out the agenda and timeframe.  She arrived early on the seminar day with all her own equipment and a beautiful basket of her seminar workbooks on hand.  We were ready to go."
