Our first meeting of the year was a great success! We appreciate so many people supporting the chapter and attending. We had over 50 people attend the meeting, where John Deere’s Teri Dankert highlighted the many business challenges Deere faces as it works toward an eventual implementation of IFRS reporting standards.
Meeting attendees also had the privilege of learning the challenges of today’s environment for finance professionals with an outstanding panel. Jim Davlin (Deere & Company), Amy Ford (Western Illinois University), Aaron Kayser (Crippen, Reid, & Bowen), and Susan Stoefen (Cobham) shared stories of success and challenges and provided everyone with great real-world experiences.
Our next meeting is Tuesday, November 15 from 5:30-7:30 PM at St. Ambrose University in Davenport. Michelle Steining from Doyle & Keenan in Davenport will present our annual tax update, and Sitrick & Associates business development director Maxine Brand will present a great introduction to LinkedIn. We hope to see you there!
