We have awarded the IFMA National SFP Giveaway to Erin Duncan with SECU. Congratulations Erin! We are happy to be able to give this opportunity to a Chapter Member and assist in providing valuable FM credentials. Thank you to the Professional Development Committee for assisting with this opportunity.
For all the sports fans out there, this is the time of year when things start to get a little busy. The college football playoffs concluded the second week of January. We are in the thick of the NFL playoffs with the NFC and AFC Championship games on the line this weekend; who will be going to go to the Super Bowl? College basketball is heating up and next month we will be in the middle of March Madness, which to me is one of the best times of the year. This is where I will plug the March 16th event at Rally Point with more details to follow soon. If you haven’t attended this event in the past, it is awesome and for a great cause.
Hope to see you soon!
