Our next significant industry event – NASF SUR/FIN 2011 – is just around the corner. I am truly honored, along with your NASF Board of Directors, to extend an invitation for you to attend both the show and the excellent program we’ve planned. We’ll kick things off at the Rosemont Convention Center in Chicago and have a full schedule of programs, exhibits and receptions from June 13th – 15th.
I believe that our industry and your association are clearly on stronger footing as we approach this year’s event. Much effort has been put forth by many NASF members to get us to this point, especially the hard work of your NASF SUR/FIN 2011 Steering Committee.
