FEI Louisville August Meeting



Many thanks to Silver Sponsor Dean Dorton for not only providing our guest speakers last week - Faith Crump and Amelia Higdon – but also for providing a beautiful location for the meeting. 


Ms. Crump and Ms. Higdon provided our group with an overview of the legislative portion of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (which they referred to as OB3) that is likely to affect the finance realm the most. 


Among the things they noted were that OB3 permanently extends many Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) provisions that were set to expire in 2026, modifies some rules to be more taxpayer-friendly, especially in depreciation, R&D expensing, and interest deductions, and introduces new deductions, adjusts reporting thresholds, and makes significant foreign tax changes. They went in depth on topics such as Business Tax Provisions, Foreign Tax Provisions, Individual Tax Provisions, and even Estate & Gift Tax.

FEI Louisville April Meeting

The April meeting of the FEI Louisville Chapter was a busy one!

 

Three students were honored as FERF Academic Excellence Award Winners for 2025:

 

-      Brandon Carl – Indiana University Southeast

-      David Niyongabo – University of Louisville

-      Eric Schneider – Bellarmine University

 

Then, dressed appropriately for Derby Week, Dan Mann, Executive Director of the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, delivered an engaging presentation to the Louisville Chapter of FEI. He highlighted the airport’s record-setting growth in both passenger and cargo traffic, as well as exciting enhancements to air service that are already underway. Once these improvements are complete, even more travelers will be drawn to and through Louisville — and the airport will be fully equipped to meet that demand. Now that’s what we call an investment in Louisville’s future.

 

Congratulations again to the award winners, and special thanks and gratitude to Dan Mann!
