peers. I want to thank the TPP Steering committee, along with Justin Edwards and Chris Mitts for their hard work in making the seminar such a great success. I think all who attended will agree it went well. There will be additional information about the seminar later in this newsletter. The Executive Board is planning and preparing for our upcoming FCI- AAO Annual Conference. This year the conference is being held April 27 th -29 th at the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Marina. The Honorable Marty Kiar and his office have agreed to be our first ever host committee! They will be assisting the executive board with preparing for the conference as well as working with the hotel prior to our event. We are very excited and thankful for all of their help. This year we will be trying something new for the conference. There will be four-one hour sessions put on by a vendor demonstrating their prod- uct. This will allow people to see a product in use so they can decide if they want to schedule a demo for their office. This will be new for our conference and we hope you will find it beneficial. Our steering committees are very busy putting together a great pro- gram for our membership, but if you have an idea you would like to see or present, please reach out to the committees. Remember, this is your organization and conference. We want to do everything possible to make sure you get the most out of your membership. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to see many of you at our conference in April.

Respectfully,

Kenny Pennington, CFE, CBC
