IREM Boston: Cam Marston event was a major success

Cam Marston, a nationally renowned motivational speaker, spoke to the over 230 people on June 5th, at the Granite Links Golf Club Ball Room in Quincy, MA. Marston captivated the audience for over 3 ½ hours with his insight into the workplace with his unique wit and charisma. The feedback the IREM office and I have received has been more positive than we could have ever anticipated. The most asked question we have received is when will Marston be back again. We're not sure, but it won't be long. If you were unable to attend this event and would like a PDF of Cam's presentation, please call the IREM office listed below. Carol MacDonald, CPM and Donn Rawson, CPM, ARM were presented a Life Time Mentoring Award by Jeanmarie O'Brien, CPM and myself.
