March is here, and I cannot believe how fast 2023 is going.  In just over a week, we are having our 4th Annual IFMA Carolina's Summit and Gala in Charlotte. For those of you who have signed up, I look forward to seeing you there as it is going to be a great event.  

On March 16^th, we will be having our annual March Madness Event at Rally Point, and all donations will support the Boys and Girls Club. If you haven’t attended this event before, I highly recommend it. It is a lot of fun, a great opportunity to network, and is all for a great organization! With warmer weather comes our Chapter Golf Event scheduled for April 26^th, and again this is an amazing event.

It is hard to believe that in a couple of months, the leadership team will be having a retreat to begin planning for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. Input from you is needed to ensure we are continuing to move the Chapter in the right direction. In the coming weeks, you will receive a survey from the Chapter. The feedback that you provide on that survey, along with feedback we’ve received throughout the year, will be vital to developing our strategy for the 2023-2024 year. In years past, our survey response rate has been about 20%. This year, I’d like to challenge each of you to complete the survey.

Future Events:

• Carolinas Summit – 3/9
• March Madness Event – 3/16

APRIL

• Tour/Social @ Align – 4/6
• Golf Tourney – 4/26

MAY

Also, Daylight Savings is Sunday, March 12^th.  We will spring forward and get that extra hour of daylight.
