As a manufacturer, our dealer network is critical to our success in the EMS industry. With their help, we are able to reach customers around the country and deliver Braun ambulances to locations big and small. Each year, we gather them together for our Annual Sales Meeting to energize them about the brand, introduce new products, and catch up with some good old fashioned networking. This year, it was held October 1^st and 2^nd, at the Grand Wayne Convention Center in Fort Wayne, IN.

In attendance were over 50 dealer principles and sales representatives from our dealer network. This year, the highlights included a “State of the Company” address presented by Braun’s President, Kim Braun. She discussed who we are as a company and where we’re going. Attendees also enjoyed our question and answer session, which allowed dealers to discuss our products and processes with 3 customers. We were also excited to unveil our newest model – The Responder, along with other product updates.

Of course, the most fun we had took place at our Vendor Reception and Awards Presentation. Held on Tuesday evening, 85 guests joined us for a night of networking, delicious food, and much deserved recognition of our dealer standouts. Below is a list of this year’s award winners:
