Greetings!
 
Just a quick note that I will be attending the ICEF 2019 Vancouver Fair April 24-26 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver, Canada. It is fantastic fair with many great speakers and sessions, and always a wonderful opportunity to connect with friends and clients. I will also be hosting HEG’s booth (No. 36) at the fair. If you happen to be attending the event or in Vancouver, please feel free to drop by our booth or contact me directly to set up a meeting at the fair. You can reach me by email or my private toll-free number +1.800.687.1492.
 
I would like to welcome you once again to our 25th edition of our bi-weekly eZine, HEG’s Inner Circle Private School eNews, highlighting current industry news regarding private school investments, transactions, and related private education news relevant to you. In addition to our periodic email announcements highlighting our new listings, the latest school sales, and upcoming events we are attending, we have taken note of your interests and added our very brief, but informative bi-weekly eZine. Enjoy!!
 
If you would like to find out more about the schools we currently represent on the market or our M&A services regarding the sale of your school, contact HEG by email, info@halladayeducationgroup.com or our toll-free number at +1-800-687-1492.
