DirectBuy of Vancouver’s recognizes Idema and Basaraba

USA (SANEPR.com) July 1, 2008 -- This year, Sasha Idema and Michael Basaraba were selected to attend Summit 2008, held at the El Conquistador Golf Resort and Casino in Puerto Rico at the beginning of June.

While Summit participants do attend the typical conference events—a general reception, lectures and guest speakers—a good portion of the weekend is spent basking in the many amenities afforded by the El Conquistador and Puerto Rico itself—including snorkeling, scuba diving and deep-sea fishing on Palomino Island, El Yunque rain forest and miles of pristine beaches.

“We have a great staff here at DirectBuy of Vancouver and selecting two people to attend the Summit was not easy. In fact, I wish we could send them all,” said Jade Allen, co-owner of DirectBuy of Vancouver. “Sasha and Michael truly represent the level of excellence we strive for at our showroom.”

Idema, a Vancouver resident, works as call center manager and began with DirectBuy in 2007. Basaraba, a Vancouver resident, is a membership director and has been with DirectBuy since 2000.

“DirectBuy has been a great company to work for and I’ve learned so much in my few years here. As far as I’m concerned, being selected to go to Summit 2008 in Puerto Rico is just icing on the cake to all I get out of working for DirectBuy,” said Idema.
