It was the consensus of the board to cancel the upcoming conference due to the current state of the economy and also because of travel restrictions that have been placed on many Revenue Protection members by their companies. It was a tough decision and we understand it is disappointing, but concern over the lack of attendees made this decision necessary. T.
