RE: SMALL FUNDS CONFERENCE - NOVEMBER 10-11, 1994
__________________________________________________________
You are cordially invited to attend the annual Small Funds*
Conference which is scheduled for November 10-11, 1994, at the Four
Seasons Ocean Grand, Palm Beach, Florida.
For those of you who have been regular attendees at the Spring
meeting and annual Fall Small Funds Conference, you know the
importance of these meetings in providing current information in the
areas of SEC rules, tax and pension, operations, marketing and
legislation. The meetings are very friendly in that attendees do not
view each other as competitors but rather as colleagues. Good ideas
are freely exchanged at the meetings and through the year as friends
stay in touch with each other. In addition, this is a very good
opportunity to meet and discuss matters with the Institute's senior
staff. I strongly urge you to attend and, if you like, bring one of
your associates.
As in previous years, suggestions for agenda items are warmly
invited and there is a sheet attached which is devoted to your
suggestions. We want to incorporate as many of your suggested agenda
items as possible into the final agenda so please get them back to us
as early as possible.
The conference will begin on Thursday morning, November 10 and
will continue through lunch on Friday, November 11. There will be a
reception and dinner for conference participants and their
spouses/guests on the evening of November 10.
The Conference fee for members is $85.00. In addition, there is
a $35.00 luncheon/dinner fee for spouses or guests. Please complete
the attached green Conference Registration Form and return it along
with the registration fee to the Conference Administrator at the
Institute by Wednesday, September 28, 1994. You will receive a
confirmation within two weeks of sending in your registration form and
fee.
