AUSTIN — Robert Harkins, vice president of training for American Guardian Warranty Services Inc.

The event is scheduled for Nov. 16–17, 2015, at the Hilton Austin Airport in Austin, Texas.
“Bob brings energy, grace and professionalism to the stage, and he has risen to the challenge at every event for which he has served as ringmaster,” said David Gesualdo, show chair “We are counting on him to help make Texas Compliance Summit a resounding success.”
