Assisting Holdridge was Cindy Casey of USAA Real Estate Company and Armando Salazar of Colonnade Centre.The attendees earned three CFM Maintenance Points of continuing education credit.
“We had an interactive group in attendance this morning - they really had some great questions for the presenters," said Jim Pipes, president of A.D. Willis Company. "We’re glad everyone was able to take time out of their busy day to get together with us and hopefully gain some knowledge that will be beneficial to their work.”
Following the one-hour presentations, the group enjoyed a delicious catered lunch and Pipes drew the names of the door prize winners. Jesse Mancillas of Grubb & Ellis Management Services won the iPod shuffle, Rita Johnson of AllianceBernstein got the Nikon Coolpix digital camera, and Dan Sanchez of Pearson took home the grand door prize, a Dynex 32” flat screen TV.
