As an MCFI who is currently putting the effort into my renewal of the MCFI, I now question both the effort and the use of my dues to pay attorney / PR firms against my profession. I will withhold my judgement until 1-31-09 and watch what if any results come from Tom P. and EAA.I firmly believe that a professional group rrepresenting the interests of the CFI is an absolute necessity. That can only happen with member input. NAFI are you listening. To the Hills. Thank you for your time both on the phone,internet and in person
