Purpose

IWS is happy to invite all credit union top achievers to its twelfth Top Achiever’s Conference (TAC). This year’s TAC will be held in the lush tropical paradise of St. Kitts. Always bringing you prestigious and unique locations, once again we are prepared to offer you the opportunity to gather and learn, to motivate one another and gain valuable tools that will help you succeed across all product offerings. By attending and participating in all that this conference has to offer, top achievers become ambassadors by transferring the knowledge gained here to their credit union peers back home.

Location

St. Kitts is located in the northern part of the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean. Long ago, these islands were known as the "Pearls of the British Caribbean", today these islands are esteemed more for their long stretches of sugary sand. Pirates, including the notorious William Kidd, enjoyed lucrative careers in Basseterre Harbour. St. Kitts Marriott Resort & Royal Beach Casino captures the many moods of one of the most relaxing and romantic Caribbean Islands. This incredible resort offers an unparalleled island experience. The atmosphere here is luxurious, an intoxicating blend of sunlight, sea air and fantastically abundant vegetation.

Attendees can explore St. Kitts and its sister island, Nevis at their leisure. Two islands, one paradise!

Activities

This year’s TAC destination has something to offer to all. Activities include hiking through the islands’ rainforest, golfing on internationally ranked golf courses, fishing, boating and diving or snorkeling through underwater reefs and unexplored wrecks. There is also an exceptional wealth of historic points of interest, including restored fortresses’, haunted plantations and ancient petroglyphs.

Still largely undiscovered, despite its extraordinary beauty, its remarkable history, and its unmatched charm, St. Kitts offer a rare opportunity to visit the "Secret Caribbean".

Set your sights high and
"Make the Offer Happen"

Every time you do so, you increase your chances of being among the nation’s Top Achievers and the possibility of attending TAC 2009.

IWS will handle the rest.
