Feedback from a participant in this NACEP Midwest Conference where IEBC Vice President Jordan Horowitz presented on Leading and Lagging Indicators: “The BEST part of the program was Jordan Horowitz. WOW. He was fascinating. Absolutely fantastic and probably one of THE best conference sessions I’ve ever attended. He held my attention even though the session was about a dry subject and taught me new, critical things. He also gave me great information to follow up on.”  You can view the presentation here.
