ALEXANDRIA, Va.— The Vision Council has announced its first-ever, regional town hall meeting for members. The half-day, interactive event is open to all members and will be held on Wednesday, July 24 in New York City at the Westin New York at Times Square Hotel.

Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions of the Vision Council leadership and gain insights into key member benefits, programs and services under five areas of interest: Government & Regulatory Affairs; Sales and Marketing; Technical Standards; Industry Research; and Networking. The dynamic format will serve as a pilot for a nationwide roll-out of quarterly town hall events which will be designed to inform members of critical changes, better understand the needs of members’ companies and announce key programs and services to grow members’ businesses, according to the Vision Council.

The event, sponsored by The Vision Council, is free to all members. Following the meeting, there will be a complimentary networking happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. Interested members can RSVP to Stephanie Sikorski at (703) 740-2248 or ssikorski@thevisioncouncil.org no later than Friday, July 19.
