ICEL Chair: SMART Goals
by Stephanie Johnson, CCE, Gritton & Associates
Happy New Year one and all! Are you a fan of making New Year's resolutions? Do you keep them? Longer than a few weeks? What do they look like? How do they read? Something like this:
Quit smoking. Lose weight. Learn to knit. Spend more time with family. Exercise. Live life more. Get organized at work. Travel.
The New Year is a natural time to make changes in one's life. New Year. New start. New you. The issue is, that according to the U.S. News & World Report, 80% of the goals set for the New Year fail by February. That's daunting. There are many reasons that resolutions are not kept.

by April Tanner, CCE, Kimball Equipment Company

Because sales tax effects customers, it effects the credit department. This article will focus on sale tax in relation to customers, it will not focus on sales tax reporting or use tax as those are often a function of a different area of the accounting department.

Whether assessing credit decisions or following up with customers on payment, credit managers lead their company into battle and one of their most versatile weapons is communication. As an essential element to personal and professional lives, how one wields this weapon will determine if he or she reaches their desired outcome. Continue Reading
ICEL Recap: Christmas
by Amy Butterfield, CBF, LKL Associates
The final ICEL meeting of 2019 was spectacular. We had a lovely luncheon at the Cottonwood Country Club then had an afternoon of fun with the beautiful Benson Sisters.
The three sisters started out singing with their dad, performing Glen Miller music along with other 1940's hits. They serenaded us with Christmas music from all eras. They were dynamic and entertaining and had the most amazing singing voices. Continue Reading |
