This year, AIM/R is taking its Wholesaler Advisory Council (WAC) on stage! WAC is a forum where AIM/R asks several questions of Wholesalers/Distributors that service our industry. These questions reflect some of the important issues that affect Reps, Wholesalers/Distributors, and the relationship between the two. Not unlike the "rep-councils" that many of the industry's top Wholesalers host, we seek to learn from industry stakeholders to achieve one of our primary goals: To improve the Rep function. Do not miss these conversations with national Wholesale partners.

🌠 Rob Ferguson, President, Winsupply
