LICFE - President's Message - Long Island Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners

I hope you are enjoying the last few weeks of Summer, while you make plans to attend another interesting and enjoyable LICFE meeting, while you earn TWO CPE CREDITS. The evening, on September 20th, will begin with the Westbury Manor's now famous cocktail hour, at 6:00PM.

We are presenting two very distinguished speakers from Lexis-Nexis. Ken Jewell, Esq., is a Risk Management Consultant and Mr. Scott Jackman, is an Account Executive, with Lexis-Nexis.

We are also presenting Don Wadsworth from the National Fraud Center, which is now part of Lexis-Nexis.

For the Chapter members who are also members of ALDONYS, I am sure you will remember the enjoyable presentation that Scott gave about five years ago, when he was the Northeast Regional Manager of CDB Infotek. Ken and Scott will be giving a Power Point and live internet presentation. Feel free to bring one of your toughest research cases with you! As a show of support, Lexis-Nexis has offered to be a Corporate Sponsor that evening and make a substantial financial contribution to the Chapter in addition to bringing several paying guests to our dinner.

For those of you who like to plan ahead, the Special Guest Speaker at the November 15th meeting will be Mr. Henry I. DeGeneste, Senior Vice President and Director of Worldwide Security, at Prudential Securities. Mr. DeGeneste is a highly sought after speaker and I am honored that he will join us. Henry will be speaking about Securities Fraud. Prior to joining Prudential, Henry was the Superintendent (Chief) of Police, of the Port Authority of NY and NJ. The Case of the Month will be presented by Chapter Member Lisa Burnett, CFE. An Executive Director at Estee Lauder, Lisa will speak about how being a CFE helped her foil a Product Diversion case.

I want to thank all of the LICFE volunteers, who made the Chapter look so professional, in our role as a co-sponsor and exhibitor at The 11th Annual Fraud Conference and Trade Show.

Finally, if you were at the conference and thought Malcolm Mills was walking funny, come to the meeting and I'll tell you about the JETSKI trip we took from Bellmore to the Statue of Liberty and around Manhattan!

Very truly yours,

David E. Zeldin, CFE
President
