December Program

2007 Joint ARMA and BFMA Meeting and Charity Event

ARMA and BFMA will hold a joint meeting to continue many years of sharing and learning together at our annual holiday meeting on Tuesday December 11, 2007. Our two organizations will share breakfast and our Chapter Presidents will bring greetings.

We invite you to join us during the holiday session to participate in this opportunity to network, win prizes, donate to charity, and hear an excellent presentation titled:  Financial and Consumer Fraud Prevention - Protect Yourself.

The session will be presented jointly by three Wisconsin organizations.  Jeanne Benink from the AARP Wisconsin, Patricia D. Struck, from the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), Susan Schilz from the Wisconsin Office of Privacy Protection (OPP), which operates under the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), will give the presentation.

 

AARP, DFI and OPP have teamed up to develop a brief in-service learning session to educate Wisconsinites about fraud prevention.  Their aim is to fight this epidemic at the ground level.  The presenters will discuss: Consumer Fraud, such as ID theft; Financial Fraud, such as investment scams; How to safeguard your good credit; and Where & how to report fraud.
