Members Have Opportunity To Win Las Vegas Vacations, Caribbean Cruises While Building Organization's Membership Base
Dear MTBC Member:
The Metroplex Technology Business Council has kicked off its first Total Resource Campaign, which we have agreed to chair.

And what’s even more exciting…every participant will have the opportunity to win a trip to Las Vegas, a Caribbean Cruise or at trip to the Bahamas. The eight-week program kicked off on Sept. 8 and will continue through Nov. 10.
Our goal is $600,000 in new revenue – more than our organization has ever raised before, but certainly achievable if we all work together.
