It’s our 10th anniversary !



We’re celebrating our Top Achievers Conference where it all began

San Francisco, California!

 


Nine years ago IWS held its first annual TAC in the beautiful and exciting city of San Francisco. Some of you may have been there! We’re happy to have you and all other attendees celebrate ten years of learning, networking, fun and most of all partnership. Your success has been our success. If you were there in 1994 or if you have participated each year for 10 years of TAC, please let us know as we would like to acknowledge you.

Our 10th anniversary will be full of festivities and a gala like no other. We chose to celebrate ten years of growth with a strong theme -- “The Power of Red.”  Red being a “power” color best describes  the power of our determination, professionalism, teamwork and aspiration to succeed.  

TAC gives credit unions the opportunity to network with their peers, develop a sales culture and improve sales performance, regardless of their size. Any credit union that meets the production criteria can qualify to attend this year's TAC.
 

    LOCATION!    LOCATION!    LOCATION!


Our choice of lodging this year is a glamorous boutique hotel. The Hotel Monaco near Union Square offers you style and comfort in an ideal location. An enticing decor permeates throughout the guest rooms and public areas reminiscent of another era.

One of America’s most beautiful cities, San Francisco is known for such famous sights as Fisherman's Wharf, Hyde Street Pier, Ghirardelli Square, Lombard Street—the "crookedest" street in the world, the Marina District, including the Palace of Fine Arts and the Presidio, Alcatraz and how can we leave out the city’s landmark…the Golden Gate Bridge? Of course, there is much more to see in San Francisco and we invite you to discover the bay area with us.
 

Set your sights and “Make the Offer Happen”
Every time you do so you increase your chances of being among the nation’s Top Achievers.

Any attendee other than a Personal Gold qualifier who wishes to bring a guest, i.e. a relative, friend, spouse, non-qualifying credit union employee, etc. must register the guest as a "special guest" and pay for his/her expenses.

 

The exceptionally low price negotiated by IWS for a "special guest" to join us and participate in all the festivities is $295.00. Expenses covered by Special Guest Fee include all scheduled meals and beverages served at IWS sponsored events throughout TAC.

Those special guests who wish to attend the guest reception and the banquet only may do so at a cost of $175.00. 

If the attendee does not qualify for a double occupancy exception and wishes to have a room for himself /herself and the special guest, then any additional room costs will be the responsibility of the credit union attendee. Guest airfare will also be the responsibility of the credit union attendee or the guest. All attendees who register a special guest must provide credit card information at the time of registration. The credit card will be used only to cover the costs of special guest
fee(s), airfare and/or additional hotel room charges as indicated by qualifying attendee (credit card holder) on registration form.

Credit unions who wish to send staff, other than qualifying attendees, may arrange to pay Special Guest Fees, airfare and lodging by check prior to event.

IWS will, of course, pay for airfare, lodging, and scheduled meals for all qualifying credit union attendees.
