DJ Event Planner

The Disc Jockey News will be putting on a Leadership Development Workshop on March 19th and 20th, 2007. The workshop will be held at the Holiday Inn Select in Bloomington Minnesota, just a few minutes away from the MSP Airport and the Mall of America.

Quality leaders make things happen and can do tremendous things, but without proper training and tooling, even the best intentioned leaders can confuse and frustrate those around them and become ineffective. The two days of leadership training in March will focus on developing yourself as a leader and working with others to develop additional leaders for your team to improve your local market.

To take advantage of this great opportunity, contact the Disc Jockey News at 320-285-5263. Anyone that has an active DJEP subscription will receive $25 off the registration fee.
