Creating a unified voice.
A Message from
the President,
Paul Hickman
It’s that time of year
again…
We are looking forward to
our 112th Annual Meeting
and Convention and everything it offers both professionally and socially.
By popular demand this
year we will be returning to
The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain in
Marana, Arizona.
The agenda is shaping up to be as interesting and compelling as ever. So far we have a world class economist,
banking analysts, and political prognosticators. In addition,
we will hear from a cutting edge cyber expert, the new
GPEC CEO, and ABA Chairman, John Ikard. This is just a
taste of what you have to look forward to this year.
The Convention also offers attendees and guests a prime
opportunity for fun and relaxation. Complimenting the
business agenda, you have the opportunity to enjoy activities such as golf, world class pools, and more than 20 miles
of hiking and biking trails winding through spectacular
mountain terrain. You might not believe it, but this resort
even offers authentic Old West cattle penning, horseback
riding, tennis, golf, stargazing, swimming and a 235-foot
waterslide along with children’s programs.
So come join your colleagues, competitors and friends for
a no-ties-allowed, no-holds-barred kick-off to your summer
in the high Sonoran Desert. I promise you will be glad you
did.
