Sadly summer is coming to a close, and school is about to be back in session or already is for some of you. But on the bright side we have a fun fall in store. Aside from football, pumpkin spice, and cooler temperatures, we have some great programs lined up. Kicking those off, on [...]
Wow has this summer been HOT! Hopefully you are enjoying ways to cool off and relax with family and friends as we progress through the summer. We kicked off our journey of “Growing Forward” with our July meeting where the Board and your Committee Chairs shared a year in review and goals for this [...]
This year has flown by, and during my time in this role, I have learned so much about IFMA, our chapter, and myself. It has truly been a privilege to support the chapter. Thank you for the support over the past year. It is greatly appreciated. As we look back over the past IFMA fiscal [...]
What a great golf event we had on April 26th! The weather was perfect and seeing all our chapter members, sponsors, and guests made the day even better. I saw a lot of familiar faces and some new faces. Our membership numbers continue to grow. I feel that is a testament to the community that [...]
April is here, and spring is in full swing. If you completed a NCAA bracket, good luck to you if you still have a team in the fight…me not so much. Last month we had our March Madness event, which turned out to be amazing as usual. The chapter was able to raise $3,566 [...]
March is here, and I cannot believe how fast 2023 is going. In just over a week, we are having our 4th Annual IFMA Carolinas 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. [...]
With the 2023 year underway, we have had a lot of activity with the Chapter. As mentioned last month, we have the next 4-5 months planned out for Chapter meetings and events. Well done Programs Committee! As a reminder on Wednesday February 8th, we have Ron Staley speaking on Adaptive Reuse - Lessons Learned in the [...]
Wow! 2022 flew by, almost too fast, but you know what they say, time flies when you are having fun! As I look back on 2022, the Chapter did some amazing things. We had a record setting year for donations to Bingo for Bones and Toys for Tots, we hosted a CFM prep course [...]
They say time flies when you are having fun and 2022 has certainly flown by. Last month we had our Annual Member Appreciation Event at The Angus Barn, and what a great turnout. It was a pleasure to see everyone and thank you to all of our sponsors because without you we wouldn't be [...]
This year is flying by, and I can’t believe it is November already. With the holidays right around the corner, this is the busiest time of year for many of us. In October, we had two amazing events. First was Coffee and Credentials where we had over 30 participants interested in information on IFMA’s [...]
I can’t believe it is September already, and for those of us who are football fans, life is about to get better-Go Wolfpack! In August, we had Anna Javellana, Addicted to Busy, as our guest speaker, and it was well received. Our next event is scheduled for September 15th from 4:00p to 6:00pm and is a [...]
What a great meeting last week! We had 60 members and 10 guests in attendance, which is fantastic! I hope you learned something about the chapter operations and goals for the upcoming year. As the sponsorship campaign is wrapping up soon, thank you to those who have trusted us by providing financial support to [...]
As I look back over the past two years and see how our lives have changed and more specifically how the GTC of IFMA has changed, I am truly amazed at the resilience and commitment that our chapter has shown. We have gone from all virtual meetings, to limited capacity meetings, to breakfast and lunch [...]
This year has flown by and during my time in this role, I have learned so much about IFMA, our members, my colleagues on the Board, the committees, and myself. In my first President's Message, I mentioned the chapter was like a car that had been sitting idle in the garage for a few years [...]
