Distributor Bankers Advertising Company (PPAI 101972) headquartered in Iowa City, Iowa, recently hosted its sales partners and supplier representatives at Eagle Ridge Resort in Galena, Illinois, for the company’s 2018 Gathering Of The Stars National Sales Meeting.

Held under the theme “Soaring To Success,” the meeting began with a reception and dinner for more than 75 Bankers representatives, guests, suppliers and employees who attend the annual event. It included education sessions, networking with suppliers, a product-trend tradeshow and awards ceremonies celebrating the career achievements of Bankers’ top sales partners. Additionally, attendees enjoyed a Historic Galena trolley tour and a meal at the DeSoto House, which was once frequented by Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.

“We always enjoy getting together our top sales partners, as well as introducing some new faces,” says Erica Kelley-Gogel, CAS, vice president of sales. “Our goal is always to provide a mixed format of continuing education, fun and celebration. We’re able to achieve that because our sales partners are engaged and interested in growing their business. We’ve got a great group of veterans and up-and-comers!”

The 2019 National Sales Meeting will be held in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
