Annual Forum Feedback
• “I wanted to thank all of you for your help making the IAPP conference the best one yet. The conference ran like a well oiled machine. I was able to network and meet some awesome members who had some very valuable information for me that my company will be implementing in the coming year. I was also able to connect with some vendors that will make those implementations much smoother. In closing, your staff was definitely on top of their game!”
- Kathy Wardlow, AP Supervisor with Saint-Gobain Containers
• “Tom, just wanted to drop you a quick note to express our collective appreciation for all that you are doing for the IAPP. All of us at Connolly have really noticed a difference & we can not thank you enough. We look forward to working with you and your team.”
- Larry Connolly, CEO with Connolly
• “I wanted to thank the IAPP for the opportunity to attend this year’s conference. I am new to the Shared Services world and found the information and the interaction with industry peers invaluable. To be sure, this conference was one of the best organized of any that I have attended.”
- Daryl Gehbauer, Sr. Director Financial Shared Services with Wal-mart
FORUM
Annual Forum Feedback
• “I have to say that I think this conference was one of, if not the best conferences that I ’ve been to ever. I’ve been to the last few IAPP conferences and several other software, CPA conferences, etc. The list of speakers and industry SME’s that attended this year would be an envy to any group. The “A list” speakers for keynotes was unbelievable especially in a tough environment and with attendance off slightly. Most people would tend to cut curriculum or cheapen the experience to keep up with the economy but I not only thought the quality was as good as years gone by, but BETTER!”
- Brandon Laws, Director Corporate Payables with Lowe’s
• “The buzz I hear is that this year’s conference was the best ever and I agree. Thanks so much for bringing fresh ideas and experiences to the association. The IAPP staff is exceptional and I enjoy working with them all.”
- Faye Adams, CAPP, AP Manager with B/E Aerospace
• “Your efforts to improve and evolve the organization are commendable. From the moment I arrived at Coronado, I felt a new energy and witnessed excitement among the attendees and even your staff. While your numbers were down, those who were able to attend were engaged and truly glad to be involved – a great building block for the future! I would personally like to thank you for your efforts to connect with Connolly, we look forward to supporting you and the ongoing success of IAPP.
- Libby Alexander, Connolly Vice Chairman & CEO (Connolly Healthcare)
