AM&AA 2007 Summer Conference – June 13-15, 2007

	AM&AA’s 9th Annual Summer Conference was held in Cincinnati, OH and hosted by AM&AA member Joe Rippe and his staff from Rippe & Kingston.

	This year’s summer conference was our largest summer gathering in our 9 year history. "Knocking It Out Of The Park" was the theme, so we all ventured over to the Great American Ballpark on the first night of the conference for a welcome reception and baseball game with the Cincinnati Reds vs the LA Angels.
