MyOutDesk holds annual VA conference we call MOD CON every summer - typically Memorial Day weekend, and Year-End Christmas Party in December. MOD pays for the expense of the VA for the entire event. In the event that you cannot attend the function, all you have to do is talk to your coach to present valid reasons for your absence. In most of the cases, MOD can give assistance when it comes to airfare via an interest-free cash advance, subject to the approval of the managers and owners. These are the only 2x in a year when we are called in to gather, so let's make the most of it.
