When: Thu-Sat, February 21-23, 2008
Where: Marriott Resort at Grande Dunes, Myrtle Beach
Who: Members of South Carolina Business Education Association (SCBEA)
What: SCBEA Annual Convention, http://www.scbea.org/
Approximately 200 business educators representing a cross section of educational levels from middle to post-secondary will gather for a weekend of fact-finding, gathering information and having fun. These are the persons who influence the purchasing decisions for equipment, software, textbooks and fund-raising activities for the business education departments in their respective schools and districts. These SCBEA members are eager to meet and to review the materials you have to offer. SCBEA has specifically asked if any SCACPA members would be available to present an “interest session” during this conference.
How: Confirm interest and availability with staff liaison Allison Caldwell at acaldwell@scacpa.org. I’ll put you in touch with Exhibitor Coordinator Peggy Bozard for more details.
Suggested topics: Financial Lit resources for students of all ages (to include AICPA resources, potential classroom presentations, school-wide financial lit efforts like partnering with PTAs for parent training, etc.), specific SCACPA resources for Accounting educators (to include scholarships, student and educator memberships, etc.)

Thank you to Pam Turner, CPA and Katherine Swartz for presenting at this conference! Here's a program description of their presentation:
Friday, February 22, 2008
3:00 — 4:00 p.m.
“Takin’ Care of Business Education Curriculum”
In this session, we’ll review the 15 lesson plans in the Takin’
Care of Business Education Handbook, designed to show students that accounting goes way beyond debits and credits and that CPAs are engaged in all aspects of business - not just auditing and taxation.
Each lesson plan is based on standards set forth by the National Business Education Association, with skill-based Performance Measures and Standards — the skills that students should develop prior to graduating from high school. Educators attending this session will receive the Takin’ Care of Business Educators’ Pack free of charge.
Presenters:
Pamela Turner, Florence/Darlington Technical College
Katherine Swartz, SCACPA
Coordinator: Kathy Locke, Spartanburg Community College
