Association Meetings - Club Accountants Association meetings are not only professional but social as well.   Meetings are held monthly at select Clubs throughout  the Chicago area. Members are given at least 10 days advance notice of these meetings.  Reservations are required for attendance. The meetings consist of a cocktail hour followed by a formal Association meeting. After the Association meeting, a guest speaker usually appears  who lectures on a topic appropriate to our industry.   A fine dining experience is provided by the host club following the speaker. In addition to regular monthly meetings, the Association holds a variety of special meetings, including an annual golf outing and a year-end holiday party.

The current cost to attend a regular monthly meeting is $55.  This includes cocktails, hors oeuvres, the meeting, the speaker and dinner.  You and/or your business/club will be billed for any meetings that you attend.  Payment is due to the Association within 30 days. The money that is collected from monthly meeting attendance is given directly to the host Club in order to defray expense (which often exceeds the $55 per attendee).
