Elevator Speech
Everyone knows how vital first impressions are in business and, of course, in day to day life. Before a person even says a single word to you, you've already sized them up. Therefore, I was thrilled to see that NAAAP was holding an event specifically to capitalize on the art of the first impression. Events like this one truly express the organization's emphasis on a positive environment and the intentions to create a community of warm, friendly businesses.

At this event, I had the opportunity to finally meet the organization's members. I was absolutely blown away. This is one dynamic group of business savvy individuals. People in NAAAP are welcoming, charming, and true professionals. I never understood why business men and women were considered to be stiff people who were only interested in making money. Only the truly successful business people know that more important than making money, is building relationships. After attending this event, I know that NAAAP has a focus set on that.

This was my first formal NAAAP event. I was introduced to this association by a kind and enthusiastic individual - Jason Wong, whom I later found out he was also one of the founder for the Phoenix chapter. I only join group where I know its leaders are highly competent and have great integrity. I knew this was an organization that worth my time. My beliefs were vindicated when I attended the Elevator Speech event.
