<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oregon</st1:place></st1:State> State
Fiscal Association members and other interested individuals!<br>
<br>
The Oregon State Fiscal Association (OSFA) is pleased to announce its Annual
Conference and Business Meeting on Thursday, April 30, 2009 at the <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Salem</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Conference</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType> in downtown <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Salem</st1:place></st1:City>. Our conference theme this year is
"Tools for Success."</span></font><font size=2><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
Board of Directors is very concerned about the current economic conditions and
the effect this is having on State agencies. The Board has scaled back
the conference by offering fewer breakout sessions, reduced expenses where
feasible and worked with the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Salem</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Conference</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
to renegotiate our conference minimum requirements. The Board has also
elected to subsidize a portion of the expenses for this year's conference with
monies earned from the 2008 conference in order to provide a meaningful
training day at the lowest price we can afford. We are presenting a
quality day of motivational and technical presentations for half of the cost of
last year's conference. The full day conference agenda, lunch and a full
year of membership dues for only $75.00 for current members. We hope this
one year's reduction will assist with your ability to attend this year's
conference.</span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

consider attending as we plan to offer training on a number of topics that will
be of significance to fiscal, accounting and payroll staff in state
government. CPE will be available for those attending.</span></font><font
