Dust your party hat off, get out the noise makers and get ready to Celebrate Payroll!

The Rainier Chapter is proud to provide to you the registration information for our 20th Annual Northwest Regional Payroll Conference.

This premier event is an excellent way to keep up to date on current legislative issues, learn more about how to handle that difficult payroll problem, visit with vendors to see what is new, and network with your payroll professional colleagues. Need some help convincing your boss you need to come? Pricing for the conference is very reasonable for this 2-day event, probably closer to home than many other offerings, and gives you an opportunity to find other local payroll professionals to use as networking resources.

We have a special guest this year in Dan Maddux, Executive Director of the American Payroll Association. The keynote speakers James O'Connell from Ceridian and Janaki Severy from Managed Dynamics will provide valuable legislative updates and personal development, respectively. Not to mention the diverse workshop topics.

Don't miss this milestone 20th Annual conference, so complete the registration form, make your hotel reservations, pack your bags (and a door prize (please)), take advantage of the early registration discount and prepare for the event of the year.

See you in September!

The Rainier Chapter of the American Payroll Association is pleased to announce the 20th Annual Northwest Regional Payroll Conference to be held on September 18 – 19, 2008 at the Lynnwood Convention Center located in Lynnwood, Washington.

The “Payroll – A Reason to Celebrate” Vendor Area will be filled with excitement. The attendees will be charged with eagerness to visit with vendors inviting them to party with them. The participants will have a game which they will need to complete with your help. You can make this event a success by participating in the theme. All attendees who complete the game (game and game pieces will be provided by the Rainier Chapter) will have his/her name entered into a drawing a $100.00 American Express Gift Check. This game will provide you time you need to gather information from the attendees, give a demonstration or you can just provide the game piece and send them on their way. The choice is yours.

The attendee’s will be voting on “The Best Payroll Celebration.” The vendor with the most votes will receive a special award and a gift certificate for ½ off the cost of a vendor booth at our 2009 Regional Conference. Last year’s recipient was Time Equipment, (their second year in a row) for their participation in celebrating and dressing their vendor area as a scene from “CSI – Payroll.” You could be the winner this year if you choose to join in the fun of dressing your booth. We will announce the “The Best Payroll Celebration” award during the last vendor session, after the vendor door prizes have been presented.
