Tour of Avalon-Teambuilding Session

This year we have made it easier to participate in The Tour of Avalon-Taste of GHCA. We invite all attendees, exhibitors and sponsors to confirm their space on February 3, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. in the Teasley ballroom for our Teambuilding Session. You will not have to stay in the ballroom for long. You will get to join a group and explore Avalon in an easy, fun, educational way. There will be a variety of team challenges and smaller group activities where you can meet new people, learn new skills, and enjoy samples of food and drink if you choose including some of your favorite places from the Avalon Tour last year. Contact Mendee Rock, mrock@ghca.info, 678-783-1702 if you would like to sponsor a destination such as The Branch and Barrel whiskey tasting, Antico pizza tasting or other fun experiences that include the opportunity to learn something new or discover a solution to one of the many challenges in long term & post acute care.
