OK, I would feel as if I were not doing my job if I did not start a thread about the 16th annual Security Officer's Workshop at Philadelphia in September. Here is the link to the information. So who's going? I hope to attend again this year - it has become an annual trip for me. There is so much valuable information and so many fantastic networking opportunities. If at all possible, try to attend - anyone who has attended can tell you it is a first class operation - Barb and George do a fabulous job of bringing the best speakers and choosing the best topics.

Looking forward to the SOW! It's always great and the speakers always make it interesting. The mock trail should prove interesting...I hope I'm not guilty! See you there Tom! Michelle III

I wasn't able to get it approved but I hope to next year, it will be the first year that I will offically have a budget for Security! I plan to include this in my budget proposal! Hope you all have a good time!

Sadly I will not be able to attend this year. I had not realized that the date had changed (it was moved back a week) until it was too late for my assistant to change her vacation plans. My year will not be the same without my annual trip to Philly. I am going to miss seeing everyone this year - it will be like missing the family reunion. I am going to Minneapolis to the ICBA Bank Security Institute with Dana Turner and am looking forward to it, but I will miss the traditions of the SOW.

I booked my flight today and will land a little before the Eagles are to start their game (sadly at Jacksonville), but you can bet that I'll be looking for a sports bar to watch the game with some rabid Eagles fans. <-------Not an Eagles fan, but it'll be fun anyway. This will be my first real conference since IAFCI in Seattle in 2006. I am really looking forward to seeing what this is all about.

Should I leave my Cowboys jersey at home?

Andy - I'll wear mine if you wear yours. Let's just hope it gets there. In 2006, I had to wear that nasty green because my luggage was delayed and ended up having to buy something in the hotel gift shop! Oddly, there was no Cowboy paraphernalia.

Is it possible to attend just one of the pre-workshops and nothing else?

In the event this isn't monitored, I'd recommend you call them or email, sow@bankersonline.com.

This year is all messed up! I didn't get to run my marathon this year and I don't get to go to Philly. I will say that the three days I spent at the ICBA Security Institute with Dana Turner were very productive. It was a great refresher for me and would be invaluable to anyone who has not had any intense security officer training. I came away with my CCBSO designation and a ton of bug bites. Have fun in Philly guys, I'll see you there next year.

Hey, Tom - can't you run on down for at least one day? It would seem more like official if you were there! We're in the process of getting material together - the printer was intrigued at the session titled "Murder on the Witness Stand" I think he checked out the handouts to see if he should notify the police! We have more speakers than usual this year - thirteen in all - from Texas, Virginia, Florida, Massachusetts, Illinois, New York, PA, and of course Oklahoma is well represented by Mary Beth. A lot of talent from all over the U.S. Three are from Texas, though - so we may see some Cowboy shirts after all, if there is courage in numbers! And news for all who in the past have survived sitting through my Basic Security Officer Training Pre-workshop session. Here's the scoop. I've finally done away with the overhead and the transparencies and gone to Power Point. George has pushed me, kicking and screaming, into the 21st Century. It was not an easy trip. And I have to admit - Teri did the power point program for me. But I think I can handle the remote....... It looks like the weather is going to cooperate again. And we're looking forward to some serious playtime after some real down and dirty working time. The Round Table discussions won't be cut off this year - I promise. Can't wait to see you all!..........
