The Biltmore Hotel welcomes us to network and enjoy Frank Price's presentation, “Team Building- Taking Your Goals To The Next Level”.  Frank is Vice President of TeamBuilding-Unlimited and Murder on the Menu, a company that has been providing customized and interactive entertainment for over thirty years.

Team building is a great way to elevate a meeting and energize the participants. Frank will describe different types of teambuilding events that work in different situations, for different groups.

We'll learn how to work with events that motivate active participation, generate enthusiasm, improve communication, and involve creative problem-solving.
