Yeah...This'd have worked. (Sarcasm) Roger Dow defends corporate meetings in Vegas
Edited on Sun Feb-15-09 05:50 PM by rpannier
Roger Dow, president of the Travel Industry Association, called the growing attention "paralyzing" for corporate meetings and events, which represent 15 percent of all travel spending nationwide.

"We have to stop this from being epidemic," said Dow.

Dow said Wells Fargo should not have canceled.

"Personally, I wish that ad had said, 'It was a perfect business expense to get the money back to the American taxpayer faster, and this is one of the tools that we use and we will defend them and show anybody that is curious why they are effective and why they have a great bottom-line result for this organization,'" Dow said.

4. Why does Wally care about corporate meetings in Vegas?

That would seem to be something Eddie Haskell would be more involved in.
