PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
October is here, and last week we wrapped up World Workplace 2022 in Nashville. What a great week connecting with our FM colleagues from around the country. I would like to mention that the GTC of IFMA won an award at this year’s conference. Our Communications Committee won IFMA’s Awards of Excellence 2022 - Chapter Web Communications Award. Congratulations to the committee for all their hard work; Thank you Nicole Stetkiewicz, Penny McGhee, and all Communications Committee members. What a great achievement!
I am very excited about all our upcoming GTC of IFMA October events!
We invite our Professional Members to Coffee & Credentials on 10/12 at CentreGreen to learn about the SFP, CFM, and FMP credentials. This is a great opportunity to learn from our accredited members and discover the impact on their careers.
We are also looking forward to our first Chili Cook Off at the Bingo for Bones event on 10/13 at Lake Montague. The competition will be strong amongst our members, and we hope you will come out and support these wonderful pet adoption groups.
Registration will remain open through Friday 10/7 for both events.
President 2022-2023
