WelcomeDear ASWA and AWSCPA Members and Colleagues, We hope that you will join us in October for the 2009 Joint National Conference (JNC) in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year marks our societies’ sixth annual JNC, and, as with previous JNCs, provides a program that offers a myriad of opportunities to help you meet your continuing education goals, whether technical or "soft-skills" focused, as well as an opportunity to network with other women of similar backgrounds. Las Vegas has so much to offer in the way of entertainment outside the conference. That being said, we recommend that you schedule some extra time with your family and friends either before or after the conference in order to explore all that Las Vegas has to offer! See page of the Preliminary Program for some highlights of this great American City. In terms of the program, we are excited to announce our feature speaker Charlotte Stallings an Investment Strategies expert with Getting Smart! LLC, one the afternoon of Monday, October 19th. She will highlight our own psychology and behaviors around money, making us clear and accountable for our finances as she presents “Getting Smart About Money: Regardless of the Economy.” Television and print media such as CNN and The Wall Street Journal have relied on Charlotte’s keen thinking for years. This keynote session will be followed by a program schedule running from Monday afternoon through Wednesday’s luncheon with bonus CPE sessions on each morning and on Wednesday afternoon. The program is designed to offer you the opportunity to earn twenty-four hours of CPE credit during the conference. As with previous JNCs, this year’s program consists of four tracks: Accounting & Auditing, Controllership, Personal & Professional Development and Tax - each one providing a mix of current topics and levels. A few other items to highlight from the program schedule include the JNC Welcome Reception on Monday evening where we will have the opportunity to network with our peers, sponsors and exhibitors; the 2009 Forrest A. Kessler Walk for Humanity directly following the Monday reception, where we can put on our sneakers to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society; the Awards Luncheon on Tuesday, during which we’ll celebrate the phenomenal women and companies that comprise the winners of the ASWA Educational Foundation’s “Foundation Awards” and AWSCPA’s “National Awards;” Wednesday’s Joint Foundation-sponsored luncheon and the closing of the annual silent auction where we will cap off a wonderful conference with a bonus raffle offering a $300 gift card to the lucky winner. All full conference attendees are eligible for the prize. This conference is a wonderful opportunity to network and learn in a relaxing and supportive environment. We encourage you to take advantage of all that the conference has to offer. We promise… it will be worth it! See you in Vegas!
