Yes. All attendees must attend our focus group at the end of the weekend in order to participate in the FAM Trip. The Focus Group portion of the weekend is so much fun! The Visit Rancho Cordova team will depart and you'll get to spend some time giving your raw, unfiltered thoughts to an unbiased third-party facilitator. Ivie Parker is your go-to gal for this step! She makes it incredibly easy and entertaining.
Oh yes! Every attendee will score a sweet swag bag. Visit Rancho Cordova is quickly becoming known for our quirky merch, and you'll get plenty!
This was an overall GREAT Fam/Focus Group experience. I learned so much about Rancho Cordova. I've been living in this region for 24 years and never knew Rancho had this much to offer in the way of lodging, meeting space and activities. I am already looking into booking one of the places I learned about on this trip. Maggie and crew are awesome, and if invited again I would participate without hesitation. Keep up the good work and after you read this, go, Visit Rancho Cordova!Rosemary H.Hospital Council of Northern and Central California
