John O'Brien, CPMR, of Coakley, Boyd and Abbett, Inc., is a member of the 2018 ERA Conference Committee and chairs the General Sessions Sub-Committee. He says, “In our committee's research on this critical subject, we found that RM Boston can provide us with tools that our rep, manufacturer and distributor attendees can use to maximize their HR investment. This is a great fit with our conference theme, and Gaby Jenkins' background in our industry makes her an ideal speaker on this topic.”
