To our Members, Sponsors, and Friends, Hope the new year is treating you well. The events of this week,
the election of Scott Brown, a Republican, to fill Ted Kennedy's seat in the
Democratic stronghold of Massachusetts and Obama's proposal for limiting the
size of our financial institutions, are sure to help make 2010 an interesting
year.
Our December breakfast meeting, featuring Bill Loughrey, offered some
interesting insights into how politics have helped shape our nation. His
comments drove some interesting conversation.
January Meeting
The January meeting is this Tuesday evening at
the Buckhead Club. If you have not yet signed

recently, I would invite you to do so. Your
national membership provides you access to a
number of resources, including CPE, career
services and technical accounting resources. In
addition, FEI has several staff members in
Washington, DC that work daily with our
government to ensure that our leaders fully
understand the ramifications of any proposed
legislation which may affect FEI members. If
your company has an issue that it would like
addressed in Washington, the FEI staff would be
happy to talk with you.
