“Laissez les bon temps rouler!” – “let the good times roll!”

This past week, AGA was in New Orleans for the 2009 Professional Development Conference & Expedition (PDC). The agenda and technical program was superb with the best speakers, best sessions and best activities; the exhibitors and exhibit area were excellent; CPE was available for all; and, the PDC offered the best opportunities for business and social networking!

The AGA staff, technical and host committees are to be commended for their excellent work. The PDC would not have been the success it was had it not been for these three very special groups. CONGRATULATIONS to each!

On Thursday, June 25, 2009, the day after the PDC, Past National Presidents Jeff Hart, CGFM, CFE, Virginia Robinson, CGFM, CPA, DABFA, and Bill Broadus, CGFM, CPA, as well as Past National Treasurers Evelyn Brown, CGFM-Retired, and Billy Morehead, along with almost 40 others spent the day in extreme heat and humidity working on the foundations of four new homes for Habitat for Humanity and the continued rebuilding of New Orleans.

As expected, New Orleans was not a disappointment! Join me in extending our thanks to the National Office Staff, the 2009 PDC Technical Committee and the New Orleans Host Committee.

 Thank You!

Job WELL DONE!

I really enjoyed the conference last month. During several general sessions a 'Citizen's Report' was mentioned. Unfortunately I was unable to get a copy of the report while at the conference. Could someone email me back with information regarding how I can obtain a copy.

Thanks,
