Are you ready for some MARCH MADNESS!!

As we go into March, I want to thank the 40 members and guests that registered for our February Tour of the Rho building in Durham and the 56 members and guests that registered for our February Social & Member Orientation at MEZ-Durham. I got to meet a lot of new members at these events!

Special thanks to the Social Sponsors - CertaPro Painters of Cary-Apex , CornerClean, LLC, and Restoration 1 of Durham!

Looking forward to seeing all of you for our upcoming March Events!

As you may know, March 5th is the “2020 IFMA Carolinas' Education Summit and Awards Gala”. We have close to 30+ Professional Members and Associate Members signed up from the GTC of IFMA to attend this gala!  This is the first year for the collaborative event between the 5 North and South Carolina IFMA Chapters since World Workplace 2018 in Charlotte, where 70+ GTC of IFMA members attended! We hope to have a successful event this year with hopes to have it in Raleigh in 2021.

Should you have any suggestions or ideas, please reach out to me or anyone in leadership.
