19 Feb 10 Belated Welcome and Thank You From SymEast 2010
We wanted to say welcome! and Thank you to all of our vendors and SymEast attendees vendors at the same time. It seemed like this year went by so fast, seemingly faster than last year.
So here are some really awesome things:
1. We had more attendees that in 2009! that is awesome! Without your participation we would not be able to hold these conferences!
2. Our vendor hall was completely sold out! this was excellent! We need our vendors to help support our group as well!
3. The venue! I think everyone loved the Beau Rivage and the facilities we had this year. We’re sorry about the smoke for those non-smokers out there. I know that the volume of smoke was more than we expected and it caused some issues for some folks.
Now we are on to the next conference, this one coming to the Baltimore area! The first one on the true East Coast in the past few years. We are looking to do a few other small things next year that will help some of the new comers to the conference get adjusted to the Symitar and SymEast community. Specifically we want to get the Symitar prospects together at the beginning of the conference and get to know them. We all love Symitar and the flexibility it gives us to do what is needed for our organizations and we want our prospects to understand how we can help them in adopting the system.
At the end of the day, we are all about process improvement and bringing this to you our attendees and vendors! On behalf of the 2010 SymEast committee, thank you for being part of the 2010 conference and we all look forward to seeing you in 2011!

23 Dec 09 SymEast 2010 – A Banner Year for the Committee
I don’t know how the rest of our SymEast regulars and fellow users are feeling about 2010, but I can tell you the SymEast Committee are all looking forward to the year ahead and showing those around us why credit unions continue to be the consumer’s best choice for servicing their financial needs. Because the SymEast Committee wants to make sure you are all prepared to face the coming year and be ready to take all of the challenges you may face head on, we have an all-star lineup for the key note at the conference.
Kathy Hooker and Ted Bilke will be making the opening remarks for the conference this year and I think we all are looking to forward to hearing from them. There are so many exciting developments from Symitar and other Credit Unions that we honestly have a hard time fitting them all into our short few days in Biloxi. Of course we are always looking for folks to present on what they have done over the past year to our other credit unions so please be sure to contact us if you have an idea.
I know I can’t wait to see all of you there and see what I can bring back to my new credit union home in New York. The committee share the same enthusiasm and we will see you in February!
