Merging Meeting and Motivating

Earlier this year, Chris Levy, marketing manager for Houston-based NCI Building Systems, was looking for an incentive company to help him plan next year's annual sales meeting for an NCI divisional group, Metallic Building Co. Levy, in discussion with several companies, accepted an invitation from one — Maritz Travel Co. of St. Louis — to attend its latest installment of Maritz Educational Invitation University at the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz., in March.
