Welcome Back! Spring Break is over, and it is time to go back to work. Luckily, Beta Alpha Psi has several exciting events to break the monotony of the school week. On Thurday, March 27^th, BAP will be having two recruiting events in the downtown area. BKD will be hosting an open house at the Upstream Brewing Company in the Old Market starting at 6:00 PM. BKD is a regional CPA firm with offices both here and in Lincoln. Also, Exxon Mobil will be having a recruiting event at the same time at the Old Mattress Factory, which is located one block west of the Qwest Center downtown. The two events are only a few blocks apart, so you should be able to stop at both. Dress code for both events is casual.

Exxon Mobil will also be hosting our professional meeting on Friday, March 28^th. It will be held in the MBSC Dodge Room at 6:00 PM. The dress code is business professional, so plan accordingly. Exxon is sending representatives from Houston to speak to us; this is a chance to get exposure to business opportunities outside of the Omaha area. They will be discussing Career Development.

Officer Nominations

It is time to begin the officer nomination process for next semester. Nominations for positions should be turned in by Thursday, April 3^rd. Please email your nominations to me at pbarackman@mail.unomaha.edu. To all initiates, the purpose of this process is to identify potential future leaders of the organization. Those nominated should have demonstrated ability to deal with the responsibilities of their proposed position. If you know someone that you believe could improve BAP, then nominate them for an office.

Announcements

• The next VITA event is Friday, March 28^th. It is from 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM in PKI, Room 263.
• Recruiting events will be on Thursday night at both the Old Mattress Factory and the Upstream Brewery.

One week until Spring Break! I hope everyone has enjoyed the first half of the Spring ‘08 semester. Beta Alpha Psi provided multiple opportunities for professional development thus far, and will continue to do so throughout the semester. With that said, the next few weeks are a little slower. We all get the opportunity to rest up for the big push to finals.

The only major upcoming event is the VITA tax community service session. The next service date is March 20^th; if you have gone through the VITA training you should have all of the details regarding the activity. Any questions should be directed to Mary Schawang at mschawang@mail.unomaha.edu.

The next 202 tutoring session is March 23. This is the last Sunday of Spring Break, so it may be easy to forget. Mark your calendars. As always, it will be in Roskens Hall at 4:00 PM. Remember, everyone must attend at least one tutoring session. It is a small commitment, but is an important part of our organization.

Announcements

• Everyone enjoy Spring Break. We have worked hard, and deserve some vacation.
• 202 Tutoring is March 23; that is the last Sunday of Spring Break.
• Exxon Mobile and BKD both have social/recruiting events on March 27^th.
• We do not have a meeting this Friday; enjoy your night off.

Welcomed Feedback

I thought I would mention a useful tool on the BAP website. The Officer Feedback tool allows you to anonymously write suggestions and criticism that go directly to the officers. As an officer, I am very interested in members/initiates perception of the organization or suggestions for improvement. If anyone has a comment; then please do not be shy. All constructive feedback is welcomed.

Final Thoughts

I wanted to formally compliment all contributors to MavMoney.com. The early accomplishments of your project are promising, and I am sure your hard work and dedication will translate into an impressive presentation at Regionals. Great Job!

Enjoy your break,

Patrick Barackman

If you plan on attending and have not sent an RSVP, then does so immediately. This meeting is a great opportunity to learn about another career path for accountants. Also, First Data has recently been in the national headlines regarding a major private buyout. If you are interested in financial markets, then this company may be of interest to you.
