OFFICIAL
INVITATION From Chairman Joe McGee & President/CEO Patrick La Pine
In the spirit of unity and cooperation, the League of Southeastern Credit Unions (LSCU) continues to work with Alabama and Florida credit unions and CONVENTION & EXPOSITION industry partners to help define our future. It is in this spirit of teamwork that we invite you to join us for the LSCU’s 2nd Annual Convention & Exposition (AC&E). The beautiful JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes Resort will once again provide the backdrop for this event, to be held June 16-19, 2011. This year’s AC&E will occur Thursday through Saturday, a change in rotation from our traditional Wednesday through Friday dates. We have made modifications to the schedule to accommodate the change in rotation, and credit union officials and staff will participate in three days of relevant and informative activities that can be utilized for optimal performance and success. Be sure to register and make travel arrangements early, as the hotel has regularly sold out weeks prior to the conference. Here is a glimpse of some of the scheduled events: ■■ One Full Day of Pre-Conference Workshops ■■ Two Full Days of Concurrent Educational Sessions ■■ Six Exclusive Exhibit Hall Hours ■■ Offsite Guest Tours & Specialty Classes ■■ Annual Golf Tournament Benefiting Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) ■■ Silent Auction to Benefit CMN ■■ Gala Dinner & Entertainment Additionally, exhibitors and sponsors play an important role in making this event a memorable experience for participants. There will be ample time to visit the Exhibit Hall and network with exhibiting and sponsoring companies, so take a moment to plan out your time to find solutions that can help your credit union better serve your membership. Visit www.lscuconvention.com to review the detailed agenda as it becomes available, register online, and check out the events surrounding Convention. See you in Orlando!

GENERAL CLOSING SESSION June 18, 2011 | 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM
Politics & Morning Joe JOE SCARBOROUGH
One of America’s most respected political commentators, Joe Scarborough shares with audiences his trusted insights on today’s political and policy headlines. A former member of Congress and the host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Scarborough provides an unparalleled analysis and engages in a lively question-and-answer session on the stories that matter to your audience. Looking ahead, Scarborough evaluates how the Obama Administration is working with a divided Congress and what it all means for the 2012 elections.
About the Speaker Former Congressman Joe Scarborough (R-Fla.) along with Mika Brzezinski, is the host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, a show Time magazine calls “revolutionary” and The New York Times ranked as the top news show of 2008. Morning Joe features interviews with top newsmakers and politicians, in-depth analysis of the day’s biggest stories and is described by The New Yorker as “appallingly entertaining.” Previously, Scarborough hosted Scarborough Country, a primetime news show the San Francisco Chronicle called “must-see TV.” In addition to his career in television Scarborough is also the author of The New York Times Best Seller The Last Best Hope: Restoring Conservatism and America’s Promise, a book that draws on the forgotten genius of conservatism to offer a road map for the movement and the country. Delivering a searing indictment of the political leaders who have led us astray, Scarborough inspires conservatives to reclaim their heritage by drawing upon the strength of the movement’s rich history. Prior to his career in television, Scarborough was the publisher and editor of the award-winning newspaper The Florida Sun. He served as a member of Congress from 1994-2001. While in office, Scarborough was a member of the Judiciary Committee and the Armed Services Committee. He was a part of a small group of Republican congressmen the National Journal said possessed a surprising amount of power given their youth and lack of years in Congress. His 2004 book Rome Wasn’t Burnt in a Day predicted the collapse of the Republican majority and US economy due to his party’s reckless spending.
