John Cammack Chairman MFEA Executive Committee

I consider myself privileged to have been a part of MFEA’s recent Strategic Summit in New York City. This unique event provided valuable content that member firms were able to immediately share with their firm’s executives and directly apply to our business. I hope you have had a chance to review the Summit presentations at this site, including the outstanding Keynote Address by Ben Phillips of Casey Quirk & Associates which provided detailed insight and intelligence that would have come at a substantial cost if sought directly by our firms.

Also in New York, I experienced firsthand the unique and dynamic Roundtable where members were  able to participate in candid conversations with their peers and solicit opinions from industry thought leaders about the issues shaping and affecting the mutual fund industry.

This exclusive face-to-face event is just one example of how MFEA greatly benefits my firm’s executives and me by delivering relevant, critical content and providing a unique opportunity for the development and growth of a professional network that plays a significant role in my professional success and that of my firm. The MFEA also provides great value through:

• Executive Councils to exchange ideas and address current issues in key practice areas:  eCommerce; Intermediary Distribution; Marketing and Communications: and, Retirement Investment and Income
• Dynamic Online Connections at MFEA’s member website (www.MFEA.info)  featuring secure discussion boards, expert presentations and a searchable member directory
• Critical Content Webinars presented by industry experts tailored to reflect current trends in key business areas on timely topics
• Investor Education at www.MFEA.com, the #1 site sourced for mutual fund education
• National Media Relations by serving as a conduit to the financial press to highlight the important benefit mutual funds can play in reaching lifetime financial goals

Renewing your membership allows you and your company to continue to be a part of this one-of-a-kind industry group that I believe provides the greatest direct value to mutual fund marketers, distributors and their firms. I look forward to working with you in the coming year.

Regards,

John Cammack
