In 2006 and 2007, the Arizona Mini Storage Association (AMSA) will offer regional seminars designed to provide Arizona storage operators with operational tools and insights on issues such as preventive maintenance, working with government agencies, proactive public relations, best practices in customer service, and updates on AMSA news and programs. The seminars may include a legal Q&A with industry experts Chris LaVoy and Richard Marmor. AMSA has also considered inviting state senators and representatives to strengthen ties between storage operators and elected officials.

The events will take place in the following Arizona cities:

Feb. 16--Tucson
April 6--Yuma
Aug. 24--Flagstaff
Nov. 9--Payson
Feb. 8, 2007--Bullhead City

They are free to AMSA members and $15 for non-members. For more information, e-mail [email protected]; visit www.azselfstorage.com.
