Welcome back after the recent Holidays!  I hope everyone had an enjoyable Holiday season and is excited and motivated as we start 2012! 

Our annual tax seminars with Steve Tillinger and Blaise Bender were very well attended and received high reviews.  We have booked both seminars again for next year, so mark your calendars now.  Again, Steve Tillinger will be a one day Federal Tax Update on October 19, 2012 and Blaise Bender will have the usual two day seminar on December 6 and 7, 2012.

The annual election of officers for the Victoria Chapter was held at the December seminar.  Those elected for a one year term commencing June 1, 2012 include:

Christopher Janecek	President
Brenda Roth	President-Elect
Diane Kliem	President-Elect Nominee
Billy Nguyen	Treasurer

Our January luncheon meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at the Victoria Country Club. Will Kleck with Unique HR will present the program.  See information and registration form below.

We have also included information in this newsletter about our March Charity/Guest night.  Brenda Roth is chairing this event and has a fun evening planned. 

Our Chapter will again sponsor a team for the Relay for Life scheduled for the last weekend in April.  Tina Wleczyk is chairing this event and needs everyone to participate in some way to make this a success. See details in this newsletter. 

At our meeting, Will Kleck from Unique HR will be giving a presentation on what a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) is and how they function.  He will discuss who uses PEO's and why.   He will talk of their development in the last twenty years and how they are different than staff or temporary employee leasing.  As accountants, you need to know more about the fiduciary responsibilities and other assumed liabilities of PEO's.  Lastly, he will give a brief BIO and report on 30 years of service to Lack's Stores Inc. as their HR Director and what he is doing now in the Victoria area working for a PEO called Unique HR which is based out of Corpus Christi.
