North Texas SIF Roundtable Open Invitation - January 10th, 2008

Howdy Fellow Stagers!texas flag

As moderator of the North Texas SIF Roundtable, I am pleased to invite you to The North Texas Stage it Forward Roundtable to be hosted by CORT Furniture Rental in their Irving Showroom Conference Center. Arrangements have been generously made through CORT Furniture Representative and one very cool lady, Ms. Kathy LaMarr.

This event is open to any Home Stager, regardless of affiliation or membership. Check out this blog by Craig Schiller, for an idea of what others have already accomplished. Also check out this blog by Craig on the list of questions we will be using for the SIF Roundtable discussion time.

A list of questions has been provided for us all to discuss, consider and brainstorm ways we can move the Staging INDUSTRY forward. I look foward to meeting you and building a bridge across our state and beyond to help bring the industry the recognition and acceptance it deserves in the world of Real Estate.

We will be following the SIF Agenda and will be trying to keep within a 2 to 2.5 hour time frame for the forum. So PLEASE BE ON TIME or early. The CORT Showroom opens at 9:00 AM and it's a great place to find some treasures as well as get to know the product. Traffic in and around the area is not always moving freely, so I would recommend giving yourself more time than the Map-quest may suggest. As excited as we will be to meet and greet one another, I respectfully ask that we start the meeting promptly at 10 AM and stay on task until 12:30 with one short break.

Please note: Space is limited to 20 people and this will be on a first response, first confirmed basis. The reason behind this is that any group larger than this will be too difficult to let everyone be heard in the time frame allotted.

I am so looking forward to seeing and meeting you!,

Karen,

Thank you so much for organizing this!  What an incredible opportunity for Stagers to come together and share and learn.  I hope this is the first of many Stage It Forward Roundtables!!!

I look forward to it!

Barie

Hi Barie!

I didn't do much but say yes to moderate what was already in motion across the country.  It's amazing to me to see how quickly this all came together with the help of many wonderful stagers across the country. I'm so glad you'll be there!

 

Hello, TEXAS STAGERS!  You may also respond to this BLOG as a confirmation.  As of yesterday, we have 4 confirmed.

Hi Karen-

Enjoyed our phone conversation & I will follow up on what we discussed.  Looking forward to meeting you at the roundtable!!

Kathy

Any particular topics we will be covering that we can start thinking about now?? Just curious!

Hi Roz! Did you get my phone message today? I'm glad you can make it! Yes, the topics will be from the list of questions Craig Schiller received from stagers across the country and Canada.  I'll have to go back and get the link in here for that blog or you can go check his blog and see it there.  He's posted a few more details from other's RT Forums as well.

Link to questions for SIF Roundtable discussion.  Feel free to check them out and be thinking of your answers.

Hey Karen I am sure you are going to have a great time. We had our in NJ and it was informative and the time went way too quickly. It is amazing to see and hear what other stagers in the industry are doing and it is always great to connect a person to the face. Have a wonderful time and a Blessed Christmas

I know the time is going to fly Phyllis! I'm so happy to hear yours went so well and I anticipate this happening more often as it grows.  I love the grassroots nature of it and the fact that people are just willing to come together and help each other is an amazing gift.

Hi Karen,

I will definetly be there. Is there still room for me? Thanks so much for organizing this event and I look forward to meeting everyone and get some really good dialogue going on our profession.

Sincerely,

Ann Krewson

Great Ann! I've got you down.  So far we have 12 so there's still plenty of room if you decide to bring someone as well!
