Presidential Call to Conference

I want to welcome you to our 27th Annual Conference.  Your Board of Directors have selected October 25, 26 & 27, 2014 at the Villa Roma Resort & Conference Center in Callicoon, NY as our conference site. This is YOUR OFFICIAL INVITATION to participate and make your views known regarding the business of the Society.  We always NEED your input.  OUR FEATURED PRESENTERS THIS YEAR ARE ROBERT MCKENZIE, ESQ. AND KEVIN HUSTON, EA USTCP.  BOTH ARE HIGHLY REGARDED AND SOUGHT-AFTER NATIONAL SPEAKERS.  DON’T MISS OUT ON THIS OPPORTUNITY.

Included as part of this official Call to Conference are the registration forms (conference and class), business agendas for the meetings and hotel registration information and rates.  Please review them carefully, noticing deadline dates.  New this year is the ability to register online, using a credit card or check for payment. The other option for registration is to print out the forms and mail them in with a check.  See detailed instructions below.

We have a Silent Auction with the results being announced at the Banquet on Sunday evening. Please bring an item to donate to the auction.  Examples: wine, homemade gifts, gift certificates, books (new or used), CDs and DVDs.  The proceeds benefit our Scholarship Fund!

There will be two Board of Director Meetings, the first will be Friday, at 4:00 PM and the second meeting will be Monday afternoon at 1:30 PM.  Board meetings are open to any interested members.  However, you must notify Brenda Quinn EA by October 6, so that we can arrange proper space.
