Thanks for Attending the 2010 Western States Conference & Trade Show

The 2010 Western States Conference & Trade Show is now over. If you were there, you had a chance to talk with our lobbyists and learn what is happening in Sacramento and Washington, how it will affect our businesses, and what you can do about it. You talked with new vendors and familiar ones at our trade show.

Many attended our California Deferred Deposit Transaction Law (CDDTL) Compliance Workshop and learned the latest compliance requirements based on the March 2010 letter from the Department of Corporations. Those attending the Compliance Workshop got the latest Compliance Checklist to help them do a self-examination to assure their stores are in compliance with the CDDTL. As a service to the industry, CFSP will make its CDDTL Compliance Checklist available to those who didn't attend the workshop, including non-members, for $250. If you want to purchase it, please go to our Contact Us page, put "I want to buy the CDDTL Compliance Checklist" in the message along with your contact information, and send the message to our staff. They will contact you directly.

Please join us next year at the beautiful Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage, May 15 to 17, 2011.

    

See you in Rancho Mirage!
