What is research? Research the firms you will visit and prepare questions that are important to you. You will get the most out of the trip if you have an understanding of where you are going. The professionals are very willing to answer your questions and show you things you want to see, but they don’t know what you want until you ask!

How will I know which group I am in? (Explain the process)
What is a random drawing? Because more people want to be on the bus than there are seats available, we will pull these forms (along with your payment) out of a hat during the Jan. 30 meeting; names are added to the bus list as they are pulled. The first names pulled get their preferred tour groups, but as groups fill, attendees get their second or third or four tour choices. Seats are secured during this random process at this meeting. By the end of the meeting, the bus is likely to be filled.
