President's Message

Dear Fellow OAPT Members,

The OAPT has a great year planned for member training and networking opportunities.  Our Hot Topic is nearly complete, it is planned for April, in Bellville, OH – Troyer’s Dutch Heritage (date to be announced).  Last year we had tremendous participation.  This year we are planning to address the changes in OPERS and Police and Fire Pensions.  I also want to thank Jim Graff and the staff at Troyer’s Dutch Heritage who continue to make our Hot Topic a great success.

We have a great summer and fall in store for our members.  The June public finance officer training Institute is complete and final agenda will be emailed.  It is scheduled for the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Sandusky Ohio, June 10-14th. The maintenance program will be June 13 & 14th.  There will be an opportunity to earn up to 13 CPIM, 32.5 CPE’s, 15 CPFA’s and 4 ACPFA’s.  The early-bird registration for the full-week program is $485 and $285 for the two-day maintenance program.  The Kalahari has the largest indoor waterpark in the country and a premier expanded convention center.  The negotiated room rate of $119/night also includes, at no extra charge, 4 waterpark passes.  Register early to secure your spot and take advantage of the early-bird rate.

The OAPT annual fall conference will be at the Niagara Conference Center, on Put In Bay, September 25th – 27th.   We promise to provide you with a great value by keeping our registration fees low and we have negotiated a room rate of $119/night which includes “Miller Ferry Boat Tickets.  We again plan to provide you with the opportunity to meet some, or all, of your professional certification requirements through attendance at the conference.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible very soon.

Sincerely,
Patty
Patricia Ann Fisher
President OAPT
