Have you noticed any change in
the number of attendees
from overseas lately?
“We’ve seen no dip. In fact, more overseas members are coming this
year to our convention. Members having a hard time are from places
where I think it always has been tougher getting visas.”
Inga Hafkemeyer
Convention & Marketing Manager
International Association of Administrative Professionals
Kansas City, Mo.
“We did find numbers of overseas attendees dropped, so a couple
of years ago we decided to hold more and longer meetings abroad.
That’s how we have taken care of the problem.”
Dr. Elizabeth Foy
International Director
Association of Evangelical Gospel Assemblies
Monroe, La.
“We have seen an increase, with 26 nations last year involved in
our convention. I think the reason is due to the increased demand
for water resources around the world, but still we tell our members
not to delay getting visas.”
