For the convenience of our members, the Financial School for Managers has been rescheduled for July 21-22, 2009. “Many of our members are involved in fiscal year end tasks in late June and early July and that is a very inopportune time for the  Financial Managers and Controllers to be away from the office,” says John Bacot. “So, due to the substantial level of interest in the program, we made the decision to reschedule the event.”
The event will still be held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, just minutes from the Montreal Airport and is facilitated by Mitch Klingher of Klinger Nadler, LLP.
