CMA Study Group
We started offering a series of video lectures from Lambers CMA Review Course to our members studying for the CMA test who wish to do so in a group setting. To participate, a candidate will need to purchase a set of books and flashcards from Lambers. The cost for all four parts of the exam will be $250.00, or $70.00 for any single part. This is by far the most economical way to study for this exam that we have found, and we have received good reviews from others that have used the Lambers System.

Meetings will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at the Golden Gate University. Our first official session was on Tuesday, December 11 th at 6:00pm. However, it is still early enough in for you to jump on board. We plan to run to the program for two different tests simultaneously so that we can most easily include as many people that are interested without too much wait.

For more information, please contact Harry Massouda at harry@resourcedesign.com or by phone at (415) 777-0202, ext. 249.

For those who prefer to study for the exam on their own, we still offer the Gleim discount program to those who are members of the San Francisco Chapter. See the Gleim add in this newsletter for more details.

Excel User's Group
The San Francisco Excel users group sponsored by the SF Chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants is just completed a successful year of both technical sessions, social functions, and Excel MOS test preparation.

Our Excel User's Group sessions last season were hugely successful and resulted in the chapter winning a banner award from IMA National for the first time since 1969. We are hoping that we can improve upon this in the upcoming year.

For the upcoming year we intend to hold two different Excel Program's. One for the Excel Specialist Certification and the other for the Excel Expert Certification. We have asked that those of you who went through our Specialist Program last year volunteer to lead a group session this year. Many of you already have volunteered. We could use a couple more volunteers, however. For those of you who are interested in sharpening your excel skills, this is a great way to do it. They say the best way to learn something is to try teaching it to others. This will also be a great way to give back to the chapter while improving your own capabilities.

If you have any questions or comments, or wish to attend a future workshop, please contact John or Joel. Their contact information is listed below.
