Thanks to all of those members and initiates who attended this past meeting with Deloitte. I know the Deloitte representatives were very impressed with the number of members and initiates who attended. It was noted by several Deloitte professionals that this was the largest attendance they have ever seen at a Deloitte hosted Beta Alpha Psi meeting. Deloitte did an outstanding job presenting IFRS and answering whatever questions people may have had. I hope everyone enjoyed our first off-site professional meeting. It was a great opportunity to network with other members and initiates as well as some professionals. Remember for these off-campus meetings it is important to recall the professional dress attire as we are entering professional offices.
