REST Overview:

REST is a two and a half day program which allows participants to select topics that directly influence their day-to-day professional lives.  Topics are designed to provide attendees with practical knowledge that can be used to enhance future performance.  Participants may select from topics that will offer the greatest benefits based on where they or their companies currently are, or wish to be.  Participants may select courses from either the Management or Accounting tracks, or take classes from both. You do not have to select courses all from the same track.
