President's Message: February / March 2010

Dear Colleagues,
Please join us on March 9, 2010 for a timely presentation on “2010 Roth Conversion Opportunities: Diversify your Portfolio with Alternative Investment” by Jeremiah Johnson, ChFC, Ameriprise Financial. Were you aware of the IRS change on Roth Conversion applicable only in 2010? This is a great opportunity for you to have your personal investment strategy questions answered.

I want to thank Ms. Suzanne Martin, Attorney-at-Law, Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C.for an excellent presentation on Employment Law at our February’s technical meeting. Ms. Martin spoke to our group 3 years ago and once again captured the entire room’s attention. For those of you who missed Ms Martin’s presentation in February and with the current state of Unemployment in our state, and the upcoming changes to the Employment law that affects Nevada State and the Federal Law changes, Ms. Martin is our chosen Employment Law expert and we will welcome her again soon.

We have made some changes to the April event, please check the Events tab on our site for the latest update. This has been an awesome year for our chapter with over 16 events completed since June 2009 and 7 more events to go thru May 2010, please join us in March to meet your current Board Members who have worked diligently to bring a great program to the Las Vegas Chapter members and we will introduce additional members to serve you in 2010-2011.

Bring your copy of the ION February issue and get David Garber’s autograph for his published article“What Happens in Vegas..”

Best IMA regards,
Cecilia Mutee
