“I am very grateful to be back in person and meeting so many people that I’ve seen their names online and now I’m finally able to put faces to their names. We have 14 people attending from the Rhode Island chapter, seven virtually and seven in person, and we’re all very excited to be here.” — Evan Lemoine, Supervisor of Operational Audit, Hanover Insurance

“Just as you walk into the building, everything is so encompassing. You’ve got all of the different locations [shown on the floor] with all of the different dates, so you get to see where everybody has been. Everything is branded, everything is ACFE, there’s no way to not tell where you are! It’s also really easy to find where the meeting rooms are supposed to be and the speaker rooms. I am a little blown away, it is quite gorgeous.” — Lexi DeMarco, Marketing Events Coordinator, StoneTurn

“I’ve seen some sessions from Bethmara Kessler in the past, so I was happy to be able to go up and say ‘thank you.’ These snippets of classes are never long enough. This session [Fraud Risk: Behind the Scenes in the Executive Suite and Boardroom] focused on a mindset change of the executives around fraud risk, from a glass half empty view to full.” — Robert O’Neill, CFE, Security and Facilities Officer, Northfield Savings Bank

“I just graduated college in May, so I’m looking forward to the next step and careers I can go into. I love being here. It gets me into the mindset of where I want to go in my career. This is the environment to be in to see your future goals achieved. There are a lot of opportunities I didn’t know about before I got here.” — Kirra Clark, Student Intern, John J College of Criminal Justice
