Co-Editors Sarah Stanwick and James Staihar are looking for items to include in the next issue. Please submit your ideas for the newsletter - columns ideas, article publications, recent member accomplishments, websites of interest, accounting puzzles, short articles, professional announcements about journals or conferences, anything you think members might find useful.
