Fellow IMA Members:

Our next educational session is scheduled for Tuesday, November 16,
2004, at 12:00. We will be meeting in Conference Room 1077 of the EMSL
Building. Our speaker will be a financial consultant representative from
Ragen MacKenzie, a Division of Wells Fargo Investment, LLC.

The Portland IMA chapter is having a seminar on November 20 that
qualifies for 8 hours CPE. Their topic is Accounting and Auditing
Updates. I have included a flyer and registration form with this
newsletter.

Don't forget our seminar on December 7^th^. For those of you that have
not yet signed up, a registration form is also included with this
newsletter.

We have a new president-elect for our chapter. Please take the time to
introduce yourself and welcome Make Saffell as our newest board member.

As always, if you have any comments or concerns, please do not hesitate
to contact me or any of our other board members. We want nothing less
than to see our chapter continue to be successful.

I'll see you at our next meeting!

Ellen Bowman, President

IMA Washington Tri-Cities Chapter 213
