- REGISTRATION: The actual Registration page is maintained
by an outside provider and will not have any descriptive information
about the meeting events.

visiting the other pages provided in this site, but especially the Annual Meeting Program page for
descriptions of the meeting sessions and the Community Service Day page for
that day’s activities.

well. If you register after

and you will not be able to request a specific size shirt for either

- CHAPTER
PHOTOS: For those
that have been to previous national meetings, please be aware that there
will NOT be a chapter photo session set up this year. However, we will provide a
lovely backdrop and signage for each chapter that wishes to have a
chapter photo taken. Bring
your own camera, gather your chapter members, come to the Exhibitor’s
Hall and someone should be available to help you get the photo
taken. This is strictly
optional for all chapters.
- LETTERS
WITH INFORMATION:
Read the letters from President Steve Albrecht and from the
annual meeting host chapters.
Both provide you with information about the meeting and will help
you plan your trip to San Antonio.
- CHOICES,
OPTIONS: Please be
aware that a lot of work has gone into planning an annual meeting that
will provide a balance of operational, technical and professional
sessions from which to choose.
You should note, as you review the program, that each hour of
concurrent sessions offers you and your fellow chapter members the
option of attending a chapter improvement presentation / workshop
presented by Beta Alpha Psi student members or a session presented by a
practicing professional in accounting, finance or information
systems. Many of the hours
also offer you the opportunity to hear technical presentations on a
topic in one of our chosen disciplines by chapter representatives. This meeting should offer
something of value to everyone who attends!
