The Million Dollar Round Table meeting is over but its greatness will not be forgotten. Steve and I believe this meeting will be remembered as one of the finest ever held by the MDRT. Thank you for your outstanding presentation and for making the program such a success!
- Stephen Rothschild | Divisional Vice President, MDRT
I just finished listening to our “song of love” to Patti Munoz. Hearing it nearly inspired me as much as when we recorded it in San Antonio. For my team of nearly 1000 people, the whole experience equaled the inspiration they felt when they sang a “song of love” to Izzy Vigil at last year’s meeting in Orlando. I am delighted that our South Central team has been able to bring such happiness to two wonderful children. I can assure you that we benefited as much from believing that we could be of help to them.
- Michael McClintock | Vice President South Central Business Group for Merck & Co.
Songs of Love set the tone for the entire weekend. As we expected, the program was a home run and fit nicely with the culture of Hunt Brothers Pizza. Songs of Love presents a wonderful opportunity for companies to reinforce core values while making a significant impact on the spirit of the child. It is powerful and one of the events that stays with you for the rest of your life.
