Fiserv President and CEO Les Muma and COO Norm Balthasar will be joined at the event by the remainder of Fiserv's Management Committee - a 16-member panel that helps to shape Fiserv's corporate direction.

Muma said the event celebrates the contributions of Fiserv's more than 22,000 employees to the company's track record of double-digit growth in revenue, earnings and stock price since first offering stock to the public in 1986.

"We say many times at Fiserv that people make the difference," Muma said. "It's a common-sense philosophy that means quality people help to produce an outstanding company.

Our people are the reason for our strong record of growth."

Fiserv now is a $3.4 billion global corporation with a client base that includes more than 16,000 financial services providers and employers.
