This year's conference was held at Cactus Pete's Resort Casino April 19th & 20th. We had 28 people register for this year's conference (hooray). We were treated to some great speakers. L.D. Fitzgerald was there along with his Ch. 13 administrator Terri Hayball along with Stacey Hernandez, the Ch. 7 Administrator.

Terry Rowe CCC, from Pioneer Federal Credit union enlighten us on management burnout, how to recognize it, and prevent it.

Agent Corby Rowe from the Secret Service and Detective Sergeant Dave Heideman from the Twin Falls Police Department kept us on our toes with some of the scams that have been floating around the state.

We had the Department of Finance's Bureau Chief make her debut at our annual conference. It was good to see Mary Hughes there and give her spiel on what's happening in the Department.

As for the conference, we had a total of $2420.00 in conference deposits (this amount does not include any money collected at the door) and our expenses were $1858.44 for the hotel, $445.50 for the president's room/hospitality suite and $136.02 to host the hospitality suite. We brought in $1304.00 from the silent auction and the bottle auction. It pleases me to announce that we net $1341.09.

In closing, I would like to thank all the speakers for taking time out of their busy schedule and indulge us with their area of expertise. To Cactus Petes for their hospitality, for the slot tournament, and not to mention the food was wonderful And to Jim Judd, the bottle auction just wouldn't be the same without you.
