The 2001 conference included a breakout session on Identity theft, a problem that Wyoming consumers have experienced.  This group of three students--Mandy Tadewald, Katie Jones and Kate Howard (left to right) are discussing their project paper with Professor Virginia Vincenti (standing) who teaches FCSC 4113 Consumer Issues and Lori Reed, ASUW Executive for Retention Management and Technology, who represented ASUW on the conference planning committee for last year's conference and who continues to serve on the committee this year.  The issue analysis papers done in Consumer Issues make a contribution to addressing consumer issues in the state.  There work is shared with the Wyoming Attorney General's Office, key legislators, and leaders in consumer organizations concerned about this issue such as AARP and Wyoming consumers who have been affected by the problem of identity theft.
