Womble has been a member of Quest for the past 8 years and Bryan has been a member dating back to his first Quest in-person event held in Denver in 1999. When asked why he and his company are such big fans of Quest, Bryan says, “Quest has become a vital resource to help us find solutions to new business challenges as we test new applications updates or tools release updates and try to find methods and means of streamlining our business while taking cost out of our day-to-day operations.” For the past twenty years, Bryan has continuously promoted and advocated on behalf of Quest in many ways including being a member of the Quest Manufacturing & Distribution Advisory Group. He became interested in serving on the Quest board to “have an opportunity to give back to the community that has been an important part of my professional career.” As far as value, “I am a firm believer that you get out of Quest only by being engaged and participating. Webinars, SIGs, the Education and all the conferences are there for the taking, but you must invest your time to make your membership meaningful and worthwhile.”
