Neighborly Hosts 32nd Annual Reunion In San Antonio Sept. 29-Oct. 2

WACO, Texas (Sept. 23, 2013) – Neighborly, formerly Dwyer Group, a franchisor of seven service-based franchise brands, will host its 32nd Annual Reunion at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort in San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 29 – Oct. 2.

“It will be one of the largest gatherings of plumbers, electricians, air conditioning technicians, landscapers and world-class service professionals across our franchise family in the history of Neighborly,” said Dina Dwyer-Owens, Chairwoman and CEO of The Neighborly.

Known for her appearance on the Emmy award-winning reality show “Undercover Boss” and tackling some of those tough jobs first-hand, Dwyer-Owens has a newfound appreciation for the winning team her company of service brands has assembled. The Annual Reunion brings that team together to honor franchise leaders, share best practices, attend educational seminars, visit with preferred national vendors and take their businesses to the next level.

This year’s gathering will welcome attendees from a network of 1,600 franchise locations around the world that account for more than $800 million in system-wide sales.

The reunion theme – Carnival: Step Up – will invite guests to ‘Step right up,’ join in a celebration and do exciting things with their business in the year ahead.

The keynote speaker will be motivational speaker and former NBA star Walter Bond, “Mr. Accountability.”
