President's Message

Sherri Voigt, CGFM, CPA

November 2008

I would like to thank everyone who donated to the Passionately Pink for the Cure promotion for breast cancer awareness. Between on-line donations and the donation bucket at the lunch, we raised $155.10! The AGA-Southern WI Chapter will send a donation to increase that total. Our chapter attendees continue to be generous even with the uncertain economic issues facing us all.

We have another hot topic for this month's lunch meeting: issues related to the proposed "North Beltline." The speaker will address the impacts to the agricultural community.

Susan Schilz, DATCP, spoke at the October lunch on how to prevent identity theft. Apart from a few hiccups with the location, the presentation was extremely beneficial. I pulled together some notes and highlights from the presentation. These were sent out to attendees, but I will include them below since there were some new (but easy) steps people can take. One big reminder is that the credit score is not just used to determine your interest rate on a loan…it is also a factor in things like insurance rates.

I would like to invite people to submit topic and/or speaker suggestions at any time. You can contact me or our education co-chairs: Carrie Ferguson and Mary Laufenberg. We are always looking for lunch and training ideas.
