Jay Smith
FEI Dallas President

The Northwood Club ballroom felt back to normal at the February monthly meeting with great attendance at both the Professional Development Session and the Dinner Program. The Annual Accounting and Tax Update led by KPMG once again hit on the major technical topics facing financial executives. Partner Michael Nesta, Senior Manager Becca Thompson, and Principal Peter Baltmanis all did an outstanding job of leading the presentation. Read more
