MYRTLE BEACH - February 2008: Business Educators

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.)
