To introduce the program, our July 30 Members Only Meeting will feature a special presentation by Ben Weintraub, National Sales Manager at Aventura World, who will provide an overview of the itinerary, travel highlights, and what participants can expect. While the travel program is open to both members and non-members, the July 30 presentation is exclusively for NRBP members.
