The Weekly Report (week of 9/13/2010)

Members & Candidates

Thanks for making Meet the Firms a great success. We had 60 members and candidates meeting with 17 firms and agencies from around the Omaha area. The other officers and I were very impressed with the effort everyone made in trying to meet with every table possible.

This Friday we will be meeting with Seim Johnson in our auditorium (room 113) at 6:00 pm. The topic will be on fraud in today's economy. Dress code is business casual for this Friday’s meeting. Food will be provided and we will have our election for Reporting Officer after Seim Johnson's presentation.
