Back by Popular Demand!! Volunteers Wanted!

Former Procter & Gamble Consumer Psychologist, Carol Berning, returns to VISION to provide us with a glimpse of how the recession has impacted consumer behavior—from gender reversals to boomers’ retirements. Carol will lead an interactive session Friday morning with the fifteen brave souls who will be sent out to local markets to observe shoppers’ buying habits. Volunteers will spend Wednesday and Thursday’s lunch hour with Carol for training and shopper intercepts. Volunteers will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited to paid full conference registrants. Contact Tracie Leatham (tleatham@inda.org or 919-233-1210, ext. 126) for more information or to volunteer.
