As the newly elected President of the Western States Acquirers Association let me just say that it is indeed a pleasure and an honor to serve you in every capacity that this office allows. I follow in the footsteps of two of the industry's great leaders, Sherry Frederickson and Ken Elderts. It is indeed an honor to follow in the footsteps of both that have done an outstanding job serving WSAA since 2005.

I also want to welcome you to our newly redesigned website. Speaking on behalf of the board of the Western States Acquirers Association I hope that you will find the site informative and easy to navigate as we press on towards success in the future.

I'm also excited to announce that our 2010 conference will be back at the luxurious La Jolla Marriott Hotel in beautiful San Diego, CA.

I invite everyone to please join us for 2 days of networking, presentations and education on October 13th and 14th down in San Diego.

Sincerely,

Steve Eazell
President
