I haven’t said hello through my column in quite a while, so I thought I’d do so now to let you know how excited I’ll be to see many of you at the upcoming ISDA National Convention in Pittsburgh. The ISDA Order and Fraternal conventions are truly the bond that holds our wonderful organization together.

They provide us with not only the opportunity to have a great time together, but more importantly, to create lifelong friendships with our ISDA sisters and brothers from throughout the country. Basil and I have been attending ISDA conventions since 1972. We‘ve been to wonderful conventions in Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland, Ft. Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Miami and Pittsburgh.
