FPA of Iowa Members:

It seems hard to believe that 2011 is quickly coming to a close, and 2012 will soon be upon us.  I hope that 2011 has been a successful and prosperous year for each of you.  It has been a good year for the FPA of Iowa.  Our monthly luncheons had good attendance and speakers and the symposium was as good as ever.  We also had an opportunity early in 2011 to ask the membership about what they valued from the FPA of Iowa, which is allowing us to make some changes, hopefully improvements, in what is offered.  Specifically, we are going to try a different meeting schedule in 2012 – going to 4 luncheons at 2 hours each, as well as the symposium and other social, networking events.  Kidder Benefits will be the featured speaker at the January 17^th event.  We will also have our annual business meeting – including approving the 2012 board.  I hope you can all make it.  In the meantime, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
