Next Meeting:

The Cincinnati Treasury Management Association's next meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 18th at the Wingate Inn in West Chester located at Tylersville Road and I-75. The meeting topic is an interactive discussion on The Internet in the Treasury Function. 

We look forward to your active participation.  We hope you'll share with us your thoughts and experiences on how we as treasury professionals can leverage the internet to excel in our jobs.  Also, please feel free to bring any guests who you think may be interested in this topic.

We have four current SWOAFP members who will be speaking about how they use the internet daily in their treasury roles.  Topics to be addressed include:

• Domestic Cash Management (Kim Sipes - Cinergy)
• International Cash Management (John Brooks - Display Specialties)
• Accounts Receivable Management (Steve Skerl - Day International, Inc.)
• Risk Management and Pension Administration (Mac McAdams)

We look forward to everyone sharing best practices and learning more about what companies and banks of all sizes are doing to address the growing demand for internet products and services in the treasury function.

Last Month's Meeting:

Last month, over 60 members and guests heard Dr. Anthony Chan, Bank One's chief economist, speak about his predictions for the economy in 2004. Anthony's positive views on the U.S. economy were very welcomed. We hope to have Anthony back in the future to address the SWOAFP
