Welcome to the 11th Annual Best of the West Relocation Summit!

The ARA is off to another great year and it all starts with the Best of the West conference. We have survived the perfect storm of the mobility industry and we are learning to live in a new business world. This year’s relocation summit, Make it Matter, will give you the tools to help you do just that. We will discuss insourcing, working with suppliers, RFPs, leadership, mortgages, and even the economic state of Phoenix. We hope that the sessions today will arm you with ideas to help you make every day count!

The ARA and its new 2014 board members will be working hard to Make it Matter this year. We will be working to bring you great educations sessions, networking opportunities, and grow our corporate and supplier memberships. We hope that you will help us by spreading the word about the ARA.

I would like to take a moment thank our sponsors who have made today’s event possible. Their support of the relocation summit and generosity over the years has helped make the ARA what it is today. They continuously rally around us and we are honored that many of them are here with us today. Please take a moment to thank them as you see them at today’s event. I would also like to thank our board members. We are a volunteer organization and what you see today wouldn’t be possible without several late nights, missed dinners, and tireless emails and phone calls. I am privileged to work side by side with some of the best relocation minds in our industry and honored to be their President.

Thank you,

Mickey Matteson Mickey Matteson, CRP | President, Arizona Relocation Alliance Director of Business Development | Emigra Ogletree Worldwide
