| ALISO VIEJO, CA, May 10, 2006 – In
a move to create the real estate industry’s undisputed premier speaker’s
bureau, Broker Agent Speakers Bureau (BASB), the largest bureau of its kind,
announced today that FrogPond Speakers Bureau, a division of Frogpond Communications
Solutions, was joining forces with BASB. This combination creates an even more
powerful cadre of speakers than ever before, in essence creating an organization
capable of offering the real estate and corollary industries a sophisticated,
eloquent and substantive speaking engagement on nearly any real estate topic
imaginable.
Frogpond Communications Solutions will, under the leadership of President
Susie Hale, continue to focus on its hugely successful Publisher software, a
multimedia online newsletter system designed for the real estate industry. According
to Hale “This amalgamation allows me and my team to concentrate on our
growing number of Publisher Clients while knowing that our Convention Clients
will be managed by the best in the industry. BASB has a proven track record of
securing the right speaker for almost every major real estate convention in the
industry and I know our clients will benefit from their expertise,” she
said.
“We are honored to work with Susie Hale and the large number of REALTOR® Associations
Frogpond currently serves,” says Darlene Lyons, President of BASB. “This
fusion unites the invaluable services of two experienced companies to the benefit
of real estate franchises, real estate brokerage companies and REALTOR® Associations,” Lyons
said. The Bureau was founded three years ago and is a joint venture between the
RealtyU Group, Broker Agent News and EzEvents. Broker Agent Speaker Bureau is
a full service, one-stop-shop Speakers Bureau specializing in the real estate
and financial services industries. Their speaker group boasts over 100
of the most talented and skilled speakers anywhere in the country. BASB draws
upon two decades worth of extensive hands-on experience in event management (having
organized over 5,000 real estate meetings and events) and offers clients the
ability to choose from a variety of subject matter and hundreds of pertinent
topics to best suit their event.
When reached for comment, RealtyU Group CEO and BASB Chairman, Stefan Swanepoel
responded, “This merger reaffirms BASB as the leading provider of the most
extensive list of formidable speakers culminating in event organizers being able
to host high quality successful conferences. Both Suzie Hale and Darlene Lyons
are both powerful real estate women and I am excited to be working with both
of them. |
