For over two years, Rick Warner (Great Lakes Valuation) did a “yeoman’s job” of editing the ASA’s weekly e-letter to members, writes Linda Trugman, in her latest missive to members. Warner “went above and beyond” his duties by filling in for authors at the last minute and extending his tenure to allow for the next transition, to Arlene Ashcraft (Columbia Financial Advisors), who takes over from Warner this month. Welcome to Ashcraft and kudos to Warner—whose followers can still track his lively insights on the BV profession at the BVWire News blog, where Warner, as a contributing editor, most recently posted his thoughts on when it’s appropriate (and safe) to use calculation engagements.

And don’t forget: There’s a little over a month left until the ASA’s 2012 Advanced BV Conference begins on October 7 in Phoenix. Click on the “sessions” tab and check out the new pod cast summaries of some presentations, such as the one by Anthony Aaron (Ernest & Young) on “Raising the Bar for the BV Profession” or “Navigating the IRS & DLOM Practice Aid,” by Michael Gregory (Michael Gregory Consulting).
