President's Message

It's hard to believe we are nearing another FEI Corporate Year End,which runs from July 1 through June 30. We ended the year with great programs for the March and April Meetings. The PD sessions and main speakers were top notch. We thank you for your attendance at those meetings and for the positive survey meeting notes that were communicated to us. We again thank Associated Bank and Associated Financial Group for the invitations to their Leaders Forum, which was hosted at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay. I received a lot of positive feedback from that conference as well.

International Tax Reform with Howard Bornstein

Most of us in the Northeastern Wisconsin Chapter of FEI focus on what is happening locally and more specifically what activities are happening in our chapter. FEI has a number of committees established on a national basis which focus on specific items of interest to all FEI members. One of these committees is the Committee on Private Company Policy. 

A letter was recently sent to the House Ways and Means Committee. Click here to access the letter and read more about how you can become involved in a similar committee on a national level.
